Stamping Drawings
(OP)
I am a newly licensed engineer. Well I have had it for over a year and not personally stamped anything. Can I submit something with my seal on it without E&O or liability insurance? It is a small wood deck 17'x 30' design, that sits above the ground by 1' max. I am not concerned about liability - as I tend to be conservative. However, I don't know if there is a requirement from the state of New Jersey for insurance. Can anyone comment. Greatly appreciated.

Regardless of whether your association requires it, it's prudent to carry it if you're going to practice. If you do small projects, your coverage shouldn't be ridiculously expensive.
As far as legal requirements, call your association and ask them. That's what they're there for. Even if people on here know the answer, you probably shouldn't trust random internet people on something this critical.

Regarding the deck: some municipalities don't require a permit for decks that meet certain criteria. There are size limitations, height limitations, and standard details that you're required to use. If you follow their rules you don't need a permit (or an engineer). I have no idea what the rules are for wherever your deck is though.
