Permit guide

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Woodside?

Woodside’s Building Department requires a building permit to build, alter or repair a structure, and it does not publish a list of exempt decks. We confirm what applies to your property before we design.

Part of Woodside is in the Town and part is unincorporated San Mateo County, and the rules differ. We confirm which one applies to your lot and handle the permit.

Permit requirements for a deck in Woodside

Requirements vary by project. For a typical deck we prepare:

  • Building permit application
  • Site plan showing the deck and property lines
  • Floor plan, framing plan and elevations
  • Structural details for footings, framing and railings
  • Structural calculations when an engineer is required
  • Product and material information

What the City checks

  • Structure: footings, framing, connections and loads
  • Guardrails and stairs
  • Compliance with the California Residential Code
  • Setbacks and lot coverage
  • Inspections during construction

How long it takes

Timing depends on the review queue and on any comments that come back. Ask our team for the current estimate. Town of Woodside Building: (650) 851-6790.

Setbacks and zoning

  • Setbacks in the Town of Woodside depend on the zone and on the height of the structure. In R-1, for a structure under 17 ft: front 30 ft, rear 25 ft, side 15 ft. Other zones require more (Sec. 153.207).
  • Decks three feet or less in height count toward the lot’s paved area and surface coverage limits (Sec. 153.209).
  • We confirm your zoning district and lot limits before design.

We handle it for you. Techwood Decks prepares the drawings, submits the permit and manages the inspections, so you do not have to deal with the City.
