RESIDENTIAL DECK APPLICATION
* Must be reviewed by a land use planner prior to a permit being issued. Please schedule a Customer Assistance Meeting (CAM) to learn required
setbacks for your property. Additional shoreline fees may apply.
Before You Apply for Your Project
Check with Department of Community Development staff or see Brochure #12 to determine your property’s
required setbacks.
Commercial projects will require more complete building plans.
If the property is served by a septic system, check with Environmental Health at (360) 385-9444 to identify the exact
location of the property’s septic system components including all drainfield reserve areas.
If you hire someone to build your deck, they must be a registered contractor—it’s the law in Washington State. To
verify your contractor’s information, contact the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries (phone:
(360) 415-4000; website: www.LNI.wa.gov).
For more details about building a deck see Prescriptive Residential Deck Construction Guide on our website OR:
https://codes.iccsafe.org/public/document/IRC2015/chapter-5-floors Section R507 Exterior Decks.
For deck building requirements, refer to the Prescriptive Residential Deck Construction Guide at
https://www.co.jefferson.wa.us/DocumentCenter/View/9422/Residential-Deck-Construction-Guide-pdf
Manufactured Homes
If the deck is supported by the mobile home, contact L&I at (360) 417-2700 as they manage deck permits relating to
mobile homes: https://lni.wa.gov/licensing-permits/manufacturedmobile-homes-other-mobile-
structures/manufactured-home-permits-inspections/.

Inspections
Inspectors visit the construction site during the project to make sure that it complies with building code requirements
(see General Building Code Requirements, below). Most decks require a minimum of two inspections:
Footing Inspection—Inspected after the holes are dug and rebar placed but prior to the pouring of concrete.
Framing Inspection—Inspected after all framing, blocking and bracing are in place and prior to closing the
construction so as to make it inaccessible for inspection. This inspection can be completed at the time of the final
inspection if all parts of the framing will be visible and accessible at the final inspection.
Final inspection to be made upon completion of the deck and finish grading.
Decks that are close to the ground need to be inspected prior to installing decking.
The inspector may conduct one or more inspections during one visit if they can observe all work done. Additionally,
the inspector may make or require other inspections to ascertain compliance with the provisions of the code.
