What do I need to install a Deck? - Because they are not covered, decks are not considered additions to the footprint of the house nor do they have to meet setback requirements. However, any deck 30 inches off the ground requires a permit. Submit a residential permit application and a drawing showing the house and where the deck is to be constructed. Include the materials to be used and a description of how the deck will be anchored to the ground.

Do I need a permit for a Concrete Patio? – Concrete patios do not require a permit if they are not attached to the house foundation.  However, if you plan to cover or enclose this area at a later date, a permit for the concrete is a good idea so we will have a record of the structural strength of the patio.
