Three deck permit triggers to know

Richmond Hill looks at more than height. A deck needs a permit if it's attached, higher than 600 mm, or bigger than 10 square metres, so even a large low deck in the backyard can need one.

In Oak Ridges and around Lake Wilcox, many properties sit in areas regulated by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. We check before designing.
