To apply for a permit you must complete the application and submit it to the Building Inspections office. The application fee must be paid and a permit issued prior to beginning any work. When applying for a building permit you must provide a plot plan showing where on the property the structure will be located. In the event that city water and sewer will not be available you must supply an approved well and septic permit from the County Health Department.

To schedule an inspection or to pick up an application call the office of the Building Inspector at (919) 563-5901.

If you receive the voice mail system leave a message indicating the job name, the address of the job, and the type of inspection. Inspections are made in either the morning or afternoon, and a specific time commitment will not be given.
