Yes, in Barrie, a permit is required if the deck is attached to the house or if the walking surface is more than 600 mm (24 inches) above the ground. Even if a permit isn't required, you must still comply with local zoning setbacks.
The 2026 City of Barrie fee schedule sets the minimum residential permit fee at $178.48, plus a non-refundable $20.00 pre-screening fee, totaling approximately $198.48 for basic projects.
In 2026, composite decking typically costs $25–$50 per square foot installed, compared to $15–$25 for pressure-treated wood. While the upfront cost is roughly 40-80% higher, composite saves an estimated $500–$2,000 annually in maintenance costs.
The optimal window is between May and October to avoid the freeze-thaw cycles of early spring (March-April). Contractors in Barrie often have a 2-4 week lead time during the peak spring season.
