Get the permit now, much easier than asking the city for approval on an already built deck when you go to sell the home. The city has a complete guide on decks and what is required, in my mind it wouldn't be worth the hassle of building a non-compliant deck and trying to have it approved during sale negotiations.
Curious as to how you're planning to keep your costs under $5 per square foot as well.
