In Rockford, a deck attached to the house needs a building permit. The city requires one for building or altering any structure larger than 120 square feet, and the only deck exemption it lists is a one-story detached deck of 120 square feet or less that is not supported by another structure. Rockford is a city of about 147,521 residents, and 17 deck builders and remodelers on this page work the city and the towns around it.
Frost footings must be 42 inches below grade. The city inspects footings before concrete is poured and inspects framing before it is covered, and inspections must be requested one full business day ahead. Drawings from a licensed design professional may be required with the application, though wood-frame one- and two-family homes do not need them. Questions about setbacks and the location of the deck go to Planning & Zoning.
