What Permit Would You Need to Build a Deck For Your Home


If you have been considering hiring a deck builder but are not sure what permit you require to ensure your new deck is installed according to Brampton regulations, read on for guidance.


The City of Brampton permits any deck, porch or patio that is less than 0.6 metres (2 feet) high and doesn't require a building permit.


When is a building permit required for deck installation?


Brampton building regulations requires a permit for any deck that is physically attached to your house. A permit is also required if the platform height rises higher than 0.6m or two feet off ground level.


Additionally, the deck must meet Zoning By-law requirements for building setbacks and permitted encroachments. Get in touch with Brampton Zoning Services office for information on what setback requirements need to be met for your property.
