Do I need a permit for deck construction or replacement in Town of Camillus?

Permit required

Yes. In New York, deck construction or replacement generally requires a permit, and Town of Camillus is no exception.

Decks are not among the work a New York local program may exempt from a permit (19 NYCRR 1203.3(a)(1)), so the model IRC exemption for small, low decks does not apply in New York; in New York City, constructing or enlarging a structure requires a DOB permit (NYC Administrative Code section 28-105.1). Wood decks must follow RCNYS R507 and be designed for the live load in R301.5 or the ground snow load in Table R301.2, whichever is greater (R507.1); ledger connections to the band joist follow R507.9.
