Wait a minuet! everyone is wrong! all cities go by national building codes, there are two of them. They don't require railing on less than 20 inches. If the inspector says you have to have them, have him show you in the book

The first answer is correct. We can't give you specifics here not strictly knowing your location and code/zoning issues in your location. That said, if you had listed it and someone knowing those issue were to happen upon your Q, then you might have gotten a speciofic answer.
20 inches may not seem a great distance off the ground, but even for no more than the Libilities involved, I'd certainly rail it.
