Are permits required for decks?

YES: A building permit is required except for ordinary repairs NOT of a structural nature.  Building permit applications are available in the engineering department or on the village web site.

Owners of decks, porches and balconies are advised to follow the guidance below from ICC.  Unsafe structures can result in personal injury and death.  Corrective action must be taken to ensue that these structures are properly maintained and safe.  The NYS Property Maintenance Code requires that these structures "shall be maintained in good repair, and structurally sound."
