Deck Permit Questions
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Nassau County?
In most cases, yes. Every town, city and village sets its own rules, so we confirm what applies to your property before you build.
My deck was built years ago without a permit. Can it be legalized?
Often, yes. We pull your records, order a survey if needed, get drawings of the existing deck and file to legalize it. If it doesn't meet the rules and needs a variance, we'll flag it early and can refer you to a zoning/land-use attorney.
I'm selling, and the buyer's attorney found an open deck permit. Can you help?
Yes. Closing out open permits before a sale is one of our most common jobs. See Open Permit Close-Outs.
The town cited my deck. What now?
We review the notice and handle the permits, plans and inspections needed to cure it. See Code Violations.
What about deck height, setbacks or low decks?
These questions come up a lot, and the rules vary by town and village. We don't guess. We check your town's requirements for your property before anything is drawn or filed.
Do you build decks?
We're permit expediters, not builders. We handle the permits, drawings and town process; you or your contractor does the construction.
