Planning a Deck in Murfreesboro
The City of Murfreesboro includes decks among the structures that require a permit. City permit materials also emphasize showing the location of proposed structures, easements, property lines, dimensions, and distances from other structures.
If your property is located within a subdivision, neighborhood covenants or HOA requirements may also need to be considered before the project begins.
FAQs
Does a deck require a permit in Murfreesboro?
Yes. The City of Murfreesboro requires a building permit to construct, alter, enlarge, move, or demolish a deck. This applies whether you are building the deck yourself or hiring a contractor. SafeGuard Fence & Deck can help you plan your Murfreesboro deck project with local permitting and building requirements in mind.
Should I check with my HOA before building a deck?
Yes. If you live in a Murfreesboro neighborhood with an HOA, it is a good idea to review your HOA guidelines before finalizing your deck design. Your HOA may have its own requirements for deck size, placement, materials, colors, railings, or other design details. HOA approval is separate from city permitting, so both may need to be addressed before construction begins.
Is wood or composite better for a Murfreesboro home?
Both can be great choices, depending on your priorities. Wood decking offers a classic, natural appearance and can be a good option for homeowners who do not mind periodic staining and sealing. Composite decking typically requires less maintenance and is designed to withstand moisture, sun, and changing weather conditions. SafeGuard Fence & Deck can help you compare the appearance, maintenance, lifespan, and cost of each option for your Murfreesboro home.
Can you replace and expand an existing deck?
Yes. SafeGuard Fence & Deck can replace an aging deck and, when the property allows, design a larger deck that provides more usable outdoor living space. Because Murfreesboro requires permits when decks are altered or enlarged, the new design will need to account for applicable property restrictions and building requirements.
How large should my backyard deck be?
The right deck size depends on how you plan to use your outdoor space. A smaller deck may be perfect for a grill and seating area, while homeowners who want space for outdoor dining, entertaining, multiple seating areas, or a larger family may benefit from a more spacious design. SafeGuard Fence & Deck can look at your Murfreesboro backyard, home layout, available space, and goals to help design a deck that feels proportional to your property and gives you room for the way you want to use it.
