I built a 12' X 16' deck that is self supporting and free standing, 1/2" from my house and it is 26" above grade at it's highest point. The door to it is not one of the original egresses to the house. I did not need to pull a permit to build this deck. Had I taken the shortcut of a ledger board to hang half the weight of the structure off the house. I would have needed a permit and several inspections to build a very similar deck. The savings from not paying the fees for permit and inspections was greater than the savings of not digging the extra post holes and footings would have been. Sometimes it is good to know what is exempt from building permits
