Delaware has two very different kinds of deck projects. Near downtown and Ohio Wesleyan, 19th and early 20th century homes often have deep lots, old porches, and back additions, and a new deck has to respect the character of the house. The downtown historic district has its own review for exterior work. On the growing west and south sides, newer subdivisions call for decks off kitchens and walk-outs. The city handles permits for addresses inside Delaware city limits.
