Checking the reviewing authority for a Granite Hills deck
The county’s community plan describes the Granite Hills planning area as divided by land under City of El Cajon jurisdiction. The plan is context, not a current jurisdiction determination for your parcel.
Give the actual address or assessor’s parcel number to the county or city and confirm which building office handles the project. Ask that office what permits and plans apply to the proposed deck or repair.
For an existing deck, identify the work you hope to retain and ask the professional how accessible framing and connections will be assessed before surface boards are replaced.
