Near the river

Homes close to the Fox River should check floodplain maps before adding a deck, since structures in a regulated floodplain may need extra review. Low decks near water also stay damp longer, so ask about airflow under the frame and ground-contact-rated lumber.

Permits

Little Chute is a village with its own building inspection, separate from Appleton. Your builder will need a Wisconsin Dwelling Contractor certification and a qualifier on staff to pull the permit.
