Yes, in Barrie a permit is required if the deck is attached to the house, is more than 24 inches (600mm) above grade, or exceeds 10 square meters (108 sq ft). Building without one can result in a $150 surcharge on top of standard fees.
For 2026, pressure-treated wood decks average $35–$55 per sq ft installed, while mid-to-high grade composite decks (like Trex or TimberTech) range from $55–$95 per sq ft due to higher material costs and specialized fasteners.
The 2026 fee schedule lists a minimum residential permit fee of $178.48, plus a $20.00 pre-screening fee and a $39.61 zoning review fee, typically totaling between $240 and $400 for a standard residential deck.
The optimal building window in Barrie is May through October. Contractors recommend booking 4-8 weeks in advance, as the spring rush often sees labor rates peak and material availability tighten.
