Building Inspections Responsibilities
Construction Projects and Code Enforcement
The Building Inspections Department can provide you with the necessary code information, applications and inspections for the wide range of projects requiring a town building permit. The application process is concise and efficient. Permits issued must be retrieved from this office (either in person, by mail or from the Document Center section of this website). The permit should be filled out completely and returned to our offices together with payment for the required fees. Once an application is submitted, the appropriate review official will process the application and, in many cases, approve the project within twenty-four hours. More complex applications will require a more detailed review that will, in turn, lengthen the review period. You must have all applicable permits in hand before you begin the work. Property owners, builders, and contractors are responsible for compliance with the requirements of the town's Zoning Ordinance, the State Building Code and all other ordinances, laws and regulations that affect their proposed project.
The Inspections office is available to assist you with the interpretation and application of those requirements as needed. We urge you to contact us before you start work on any project, as the penalties for doing work without a permit are quite substantial. The Inspections office is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday - Friday. (910) 278-5471 or
