Montgomery County, Maryland

Which permits does your deck project need?

Describe the complete work below. The guided intake asks the same project questions as the PermitOps app and returns its code-first answer when the address, scope and current evidence are supported.

A Montgomery County mailing address alone does not establish county permit jurisdiction. The address check identifies the governing place and the responsible building or trade authority for your scope.

Details to have ready

• Deck supports and height
• Connections to the building
• Property use and site conditions

The project type is selected for you; permit-deciding facts remain unanswered. Your actual address determines jurisdiction. Unknown facts and unsupported conditions remain explicit in the result.
