As summer approaches and outdoor projects get underway, the City of Portland is pleased to unveil a simplified web page for homeowners who are seeking to build or replace their decks.
The main residential decks page lays out five easy steps for obtaining a deck permit and completing inspections on a project, with links to more information if needed. The page also provides quick pop-up definitions of terms to help the reader understand the information that is shared.
This newly reorganized web page is part of the City's ongoing efforts to improve the permit process and share information in formats that are easier to read and simpler to follow. Additional permit information pages will be updated in the months ahead.
