City Center & City Center Station

98036

Near Lynnwood City Hall, about 8.6 miles from our Everett shop. We measure lot coverage early on compact lots.

Scriber Lake Park area

98036

We check the site plan items Lynnwood asks for, including wetlands and slopes over 15%, before design.

Alderwood Mall area

98037

We look at the age of the existing deck and its ledger first, since most Lynnwood homes predate 1980.

Meadowdale HS & MS area

98037

We check grade around the deck site and mark any slope over 15% with its top and toe setbacks on the site plan.

North Lynnwood

98087

Unincorporated, so permits go through Snohomish County, not the City of Lynnwood. We confirm which office applies before we file.

Martha Lake

98087

Often called Lynnwood but unincorporated, so the county reviews the permit. We confirm the right office for your address.

What Lynnwood deck plans need

Four tests for a permit-free deck

Lynnwood's exemption list frees a deck from a permit only when it is 200 sq ft or less, no more than 30 inches above grade at any point, freestanding, and not serving the exit door. Fail any one test and the deck needs a building permit.

Slopes over 15% go on the site plan

Lynnwood's residential site plan sample asks for geologic hazard areas with slopes over 15%, with setbacks from the top and toe of the slope. We check the grade around your deck site before we draw the plan.

Decks count toward lot coverage

The same site plan sample puts decks in the lot coverage calculation. On a smaller Lynnwood lot, that number can cap the deck's size, so we run it before you pick a footprint.

Wetlands, flood areas, and shorelines

The site plan must also show wetlands, flood hazard areas, and any shoreline's ordinary high water mark. If one touches your lot, the deck plan has to work around it, and we find that out first.

Most homes are older than 1980

About 52.6% of Lynnwood's housing was built before 1980, and the 1960s and 1970s are the largest building decades. Many original decks and ledger connections are 45 to 65 years old, so we open them up and check the framing before reusing anything.

About 178 wet days a year

Paine Field, about 6 miles north, averages about 33 inches of rain on roughly 178 days a year (NOAA lists the day count as provisional). Capped composite or PVC boards, flashing at the ledger, and airflow under the deck pay off here.

TRY IT

Does your Lynnwood deck need a permit?

Is the deck floor more than 30 in. above the ground?

Is it attached to the house?

Is it larger than 200 sq ft?

Does a door from the house open onto it?

Is the lot on a steep slope, near a shoreline, or in a wetland buffer?

Anything else?
Likely permit in Lynnwood

Building permit from the City of Lynnwood

A permit is needed because it's more than 30 in. above grade, it's attached to the house, it serves an exit door.

The city's handout still cites the 2018 IRC; Lynnwood's adopted codes page lists the 2021 Washington State Residential Code, which we build to.

Based on the City of Lynnwood's published rules. The city makes the final call; we confirm for your address before pricing.

SERVICE AREA

Our Lynnwood service area

Cactus Decking is based in Everett, about 7 miles away, and builds, replaces, and repairs decks throughout Lynnwood.

Lynnwood projects often need to make efficient use of compact or established lots. Layout decisions may involve privacy from neighboring homes, short transitions to patios or lawns, and construction access through narrow side yards. Coordinating stairs, railing, drainage, and low-maintenance materials early helps avoid crowding the finished deck.

A Lynnwood estimate begins with the actual property rather than a citywide assumption. We review the existing structure or proposed footprint, access, drainage, stairs, railings, material exposure, permit needs, and how the household plans to use the space. That review determines which service and material options are appropriate.

Common deck questions in Lynnwood

Is there a deck builder near me in Lynnwood?

Yes. Cactus Decking serves Lynnwood from 12029 24th Ave SE in Everett, about 8.6 miles by road from Lynnwood City Hall. We work across the city, from City Center and Scriber Lake to Alderwood and Meadowdale. Site visits and estimates are free and written, and our work carries a 10-year workmanship warranty.

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Lynnwood?

Usually, yes. Lynnwood exempts a deck only if it is 200 sq ft or less, no more than 30 inches above grade at any point, not attached to the house, and not serving the required exit door. Most decks off a back door fail at least one of those tests. Cactus Decking prepares the site plan and drawings and files the permit.

How much does a deck cost in Lynnwood?

Our typical projects range from about $20,000 for a 12 × 12 ft composite deck with aluminum railing to about $70,000 for a 500 sq ft custom PVC deck. In Lynnwood, size limits from lot coverage, slope work, and the condition of an older home's framing move the price most. Every estimate is free and written.

Does my Lynnwood deck count toward lot coverage?

Yes. Lynnwood's residential site plan sample includes decks in the lot coverage calculation. That means a deck shares the lot's coverage allowance with the house, garage, and other structures. We measure your lot and run the numbers before design, so the deck we draw is one the city can approve.

Can you build a deck on a sloped Lynnwood lot?

Yes. Lynnwood's site plan rules require any slope over 15% to be shown as a geologic hazard area, with setbacks from its top and toe. We check the grade near your deck site, draw those setbacks, and design stepped or raised footings that keep the deck clear of them.
