Deck permit FAQs
Do I need a building permit for a deck in Ontario?+
It depends on your municipality and the deck's height, size, attachment to the home and intended use. We review your property and local requirements before preparing drawings; do not assume a low deck is automatically exempt.
What drawings are required for a deck permit?+
A typical submission may include a site plan, deck plan, framing and footing details, guard and stair details, and information about the connection to the house. Your municipality determines the final requirements.
Can you help with an existing deck that was built without a permit?+
We can review the existing deck, document its visible conditions and discuss what the municipality may require. Concealed construction may need additional verification or changes before a permit can be issued.
