Building Permits
A building permit is not required for an uncovered deck maximum 18.6 square metres (about 200 square feet), not exceeding 0.6 metres (about 23.6 inches) above grade and not attached to an existing structure. If an uncovered deck is attached to an existing structure, it will require a permit regardless of size or height, above grade.
Although a building permit may not be required for an uncovered deck, the deck is still required to meet the City of Vaughan Zoning By-law.
