Permitting

To provide courteous service and a straightforward process for homeowners and contractors to obtain the necessary construction permits.

The Permitting service area is responsible for issuing the various permits and assisting applicants in this process. This area is the primary duty of two technicians who work out of the satellite office in Archdale. Another technician who works in the Asheboro office assists in this area by issuing permits on mailed-in applications.
