Do I Need a Permit to Build a Deck in Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, or Bellevue?
Thinking about adding a new deck to your home in the Eastside? One of the first questions homeowners ask us is: “Do I need a permit for my deck?” The answer depends on the size and height of your project. In most Washington cities, including Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, and Bellevue, a permit is required if your deck is more than 30 inches above ground or exceeds 200 square feet. This rule is in place to keep your project safe, code-compliant, and properly inspected.
At MoDecks, we guide our clients through the entire process — from design and material selection to permit applications and final inspections. Building without a permit can lead to costly delays, fines, or problems when selling your home later. That’s why we make sure every deck we build is approved and meets city and state codes.
Whether you’re dreaming of a modern composite deck, a classic wood build, or even a custom space with railings and lighting, we’ll help you navigate the rules so your project starts on solid ground.
📍 Serving Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Bellevue, Bothell, and surrounding areas.
