Deck permit checklist — Peoria, Arizona
Assembled from Peoria’s own published permit rules. Every line below is quoted from a city document and linked to it. Nothing here is generated, estimated, or inferred from another jurisdiction.
Do you need a permit?
Peoria requires a permit for a deck.
Peoria relies on the adopted IRC as amended in the city code rather than a published plain-language exemption list. Practically, Development Services treats patio covers and similar attached residential structures as permit-required and offers them as over-the-counter items, which indicates the city is not applying a broad deck/patio exemption. Confirm any low detached deck with Development Services before skipping the permit.
