Do i need a license to build deck in Colorado for someone else?

Deck permits are necessary for deck construction projects in many cities in Colorado. This includes both residential and commercial projects. In most places, you will need a permit if your deck is:

* More than 30 inches above the ground

* More than 200 square feet

* Attached to a dwelling

Some counties also require permits for decks that are less than 30 inches above the ground, so it's always best to check with your local building department before you start construction.

Deck Builder Licensing

In Colorado, deck builders are not required to be licensed by the state. However, some cities and counties do have their own licensing requirements for deck builders. For example, the city of Denver requires deck builders to be licensed by the Department of Excise and Licenses.

If you are not sure whether you need a permit or a license to build a deck in Colorado, it is best to contact your local building department. They will be able to tell you what requirements apply to your project.
