Permits, HOAs, and Inspections

Before you get started on your deck-building project, it’s important to consider some behind-the-scenes requirements that could affect your project. Knowing the requirements below is especially important if you live in a neighborhood with HOA guidelines or strict local permit rules. At Nature View Exteriors, the best contractor in Columbus, we’re experts on all things deck construction and can guide you through your project stress-free.

Many cities and counties require permitting for a deck construction project. If your deck is planned to be attached to your home or is elevated, expect some strict permitting requirements. Failing to secure a permit from the city or county may lead to costly fines or having to tear it down.

If you live in a neighborhood with an HOA, you may be limited when it comes to your deck design. Some HOAs have rules about size, materials, and even color. Check your HOA’s guidelines and get written approval before beginning your project.

After your deck is built (or even during construction), you may be required to pass an inspection to ensure it meets safety and code requirements.
