As summer fast approaches, many people want to maximize their outdoor living environments and a common way to do this is by building a deck!

Decks uncovered and not higher than 0.6 m (1.97 ft) from the ground do not require a Development Permit or a Building Permit and are allowed to be built closer to your property line than your house.

Decks higher than 0.6 m (1.97 ft) and covered decks require both a Development Permit and a Building Permit and have different setback requirements than uncovered decks that are no more than 0.6 m (1.97 ft) in height.

Please contact the Planning & Development Department by phone at 403.885.9679, or email planning_development@blackfalds.ca, and staff will provide your specific setback requirements for your deck project.
