Verona deck permit
Verona’s 2026 fee schedule lists a deck permit at $300 per unit plus a $25 plan review fee, and says permits are required any time a project exceeds $500 or as the schedule specifies. The Building Inspection Department says most of its standards are enforced through state codes, including the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code. The city’s permit FAQ warns that work done without a required permit can be fined for every day it is out of compliance, and that prospective buyers can check the city’s building records.

Composite Decks in Verona
Composite in Wisconsin has to carry a label showing ASTM D7032 compliance under the state deck appendix. The frame under composite is usually wood, so ask how the builder protects the joist tops and ledger from water. Madison’s own deck page reminds owners to use weather-resistant materials such as treated lumber.
Tell the builder which board line you like and ask what joist spacing it needs.
