Permit check for Brookfield
Brookfield’s deck fact sheet answers “Do I need a building permit?” with a plain yes. The fee is $125 plus a $50 nonrefundable minor plan review fee, and the application needs 1/4-inch-scale plans and a survey less than a year old. Inspections come when the 48-inch holes are open before posts go in, when joists are in before decking, and when the deck is done.
