Permit guide
In most cases, yes. Los Gatos follows California Residential Code R105.2 and exempts only low, free-standing decks:
A deck attached to the house needs a building permit at any height. We confirm the rule for your property, prepare the plans and handle the permit.
Requirements vary by project. For a typical deck we prepare:
Timing depends on the Town’s review queue and on any comments that come back. Ask our team for the current estimate.
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 Town.
