Yeah. A little more info would help. Can you post details like size, height above grade, attached to house? Are you into your property line setback?
I built a 10 x 50 deck attached to my house 10 feet above grade, brought Jack Parsons in before I started. Got some advice (and shortcuts) from him. Went really smooth.
Generally, if the deck is more than 200 sq ft or more than 30 inches above grade, you need a permit.
Be advised that if you start a project like that and get stopped as you did, the permit cost may double.
The town website has building permit applications you can download.
