Permit Fees
Deck permits across Kansas are administered at the city or county level, and requirements vary between jurisdictions. In Wichita, the dominant building code in force is 2018 IRC (Wichita-Sedgwick County Unified Building and Trade Code). Decks/porches 30 inches or less above grade, without overhead structures, and not over a basement may be exempt. 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. Wichita processes residential plan reviews in 10-15 business days for plan review.. Always verify current rules directly with your local building department before pulling in a contractor, because Kansas has no statewide fee schedule — every city sets its own.
