A deck in Palatine goes through the village's Express permit process, and the village's deck handout sets out what the application needs. Palatine has about 66,293 residents, and 40 deck builders and related businesses are on this page. The village says a deck is one of the projects that may require a building permit, and it asks owners to call the Building Department with questions.

The handout asks for a set of complete construction details, with plans, sections and elevations. It also asks for a fully dimensioned plat of survey showing the proposed work with all setbacks, and a signed contract. All of these are uploaded with the application.

Concrete piers or footings must be at least 42 inches below grade where a deck attaches to a frost-protected structure, and attached decks must sit on a frost protected foundation.
