Permit Fees
Deck permits across Alaska are administered at the city or county level, and requirements vary between jurisdictions. In Anchorage, the dominant building code in force is 2018 IRC (Alaska state adoption, effective January 1, 2021). Freestanding decks not more than 30 inches above finished grade are exempt per IRC R105.2. That said, any deck that meets any one of the following usually requires a permit regardless of size: attached to the dwelling, over 30 inches above grade, covered with a roof, or serving a required exit door. Anchorage processes residential plan reviews in contact (907) 343-8301 for current processing times.. Always verify current rules directly with your local building department before pulling in a contractor, because Alaska has no statewide fee schedule — every city sets its own.
