Bloomington lists decks among the work that requires a building permit, and the city's required-permit list names porches and decks directly. The city also amended the model residential code to delete several of its permit exemptions. Bloomington has about 78,907 residents, and 9 deck builders and remodelers are on this page, with a few more reaching in from De Witt, Cooksville, Shirley, Downs and Twin Grove.
A dedicated Garage/Shed/Deck Porch Permit Application is submitted through the city's digital form system. Applications that need plans are not processed until digital copies of the plans arrive, and once the application is submitted the city asks owners to allow up to 5 business days for processing and approval. The amended residential code sets the frost line depth at a minimum of 40 inches below finished grade.
