Do I need a permit to replace an existing deck?

A building permit is required unless the deck meets the criteria for exemption.

A deck not requiring a permit must meet ALL of the following criteria:
1. does not exceed 200 sq. ft. in area;
2. is not more than 30 inches above grade at any point;
3. is not attached to the dwelling; and
4. does not serve the exit door required by IRC.
