Planning deck work on an older Palomar Mountain cabin
The county’s North Mountain planning information notes that some older Palomar Mountain cabins survive. That does not establish the age or historic status of any individual building.
If your property is an older cabin, gather any available plans, permits and repair records. Ask the appropriate planning office whether the proposed exterior work needs historic review and what documentation it requires.
Have a qualified professional assess accessible supports and the house connection before replacing the surface. Confirm the property’s land status and building authority before arranging work.
