Yes, a permit is required if the deck is attached to the house, elevated more than 24 inches (600mm) above grade, or includes a roof. The 2026 residential permit fee for additions is approximately $93.24, while alterations/repairs are capped at $420.
For a standard 200 sq ft project, homeowners typically pay between $8,000 and $20,000. Pressure-treated wood is the most affordable at roughly $40/sq ft installed, while mid-grade composite averages $60-$75/sq ft.
Yes, the City of Barrie is offering a 50% reduction on building permit application fees for Additional Residential Units (ARUs) in 2026. Homeowners may also qualify for a full rebate if the unit achieves occupancy within 12 months of permit issuance.
Due to Simcoe County's intense freeze-thaw cycles, local contractors strongly recommend composite or PVC decking, which costs $30-$50 per sq ft for materials alone. While wood is cheaper upfront ($3-$7/sq ft), it requires annual maintenance costing $300-$800 to prevent warping.
