Fences, decks and permits

Petaluma asks for a fence permit when a fence is built or replaced, and a building permit for decks more than 30 inches above the ground. Small repairs, like replacing pickets or a few deck boards, keep what's there. If your project replaces a whole section, check with the city first.

Historic downtown

Petaluma's downtown survived the 1906 earthquake, and many nearby homes are older. Older homes mean wood windows, original trim and older plumbing.
