Building Code
2018 IRC (as amended)
Decks not more than 30 inches above grade in conjunction with single-family dwelling are exempt per Henderson Municipal Code 15.01.130.
If your deck does NOT meet all exemption criteria, you must obtain a permit before construction. Building without a required permit can result in fines, stop-work orders, and required demolition.
Review the exemption criteria above. If your deck exceeds any threshold, a permit is required.
You'll need a site plan, deck dimensions, framing details, and footing specifications. Check Henderson's specific documentation requirements.
Apply through DSC Online Portal . Pay the permit fee at submission.
Once approved, post your permit visibly and schedule required inspections (typically footing, framing, and final).
