Airdrie Deck Permits: What You Need to Know

The City of Airdrie issues deck permits through its myAIRDRIE online portal, and Airdrie 311 can answer questions. Here is what the City's current deck guidance says. We confirm it for your lot and handle the application.

• •A permit is needed for any new or altered deck, covered or uncovered, more than 600 mm above grade, and for any roof or enclosure over a deck.
• •Adding or relocating stairs, and new stairs with more than 3 risers, also needs a permit.
• •A like-for-like replacement of a deck that was originally permitted (same size, stair location, and member size and spacing) typically does not need a new permit.
• •Setbacks must be met or a variance approved, and the space under the deck must be accessible at inspection.
• •The City warns that starting work before a permit is issued can double the permit fee.
