If you built everything as per plan (the deck part itself) and the height ends up being over by a few inches, it is very unlikely your inspector will cause an issue with it. I design home, and have had them end up being over the specified height by as much as 10 inches, and the inspector has only made up amend the drawings, worst case was we had to apply for a variance, but we could still work on the house. as long as you didn't stray too far from the plans submitted for you BP you should be fine. If you were over by more that 12" you would have a problem. more likely than not the inspector will look to make sure the thing looks like what you said you were going to build and is to code. the biggest thing to be wary of it your railing on any deck above 2 feet. make sure the railing spindles are to code and don't move, other wise you'll be rebuilding the railing!
