Hoping someone could give me some info. Where it states that a deck/patio/walkway 8"+ above grade needs a permit, can I assume it would also require a handrail/guardrail? My front stoop does not have either. Being that it's on a slope, half is 18"above grade (at the highest point), the other half is below 8". I have no problem getting handrails on the steps, but railing on the rest would look horrible. Being that it's uncovered, it would look like a deck coming off the front of my house. Appreciate any feedback/thoughts. Thanks.
