Decks
A deck is a great way to add living space to your home. When you permit your deck, you ensure that your deck is built safe and meets the Land Use Bylaw.
Do I need a permit for my deck?
If your deck is 2 feet or higher from the ground or is covered in any way, it needs a development permit and a building permit.
Decks below 2 feet in height do not need permits.
