The application needs an accurate plat of survey with the deck location marked, and one set of plans showing deck size, joists, post holes, posts, beams, ledger board and guardrail details. If a contractor does the work, the contractor must pull the permit and send a copy of the contract.
The numbers matter. Post holes must be at least 42 inches deep for a deck attached to the house and at least 24 inches deep for a free-standing deck. A guardrail is required on any deck more than 30 inches above grade, at least 36 inches high, with balusters no more than 4 inches apart.
