I have built a deck on my house without getting a building permit.
Does anyone know what kind of penalties I can face?

Don't know, but reminds me of what happened near where I live. Person built
a large 2 story log cabin. He cut down trees on BLM land (Bureau of land
management) without a permit. Three years later BLM came and took there logs
back, tore down house.
