In this story

Start with the project and property

Brunswick County's official site lists a Building Permit under “Apply For,” while its directory separately lists Building Inspection and Planning & Zoning. A project may need review from more than one route depending on the property and work.

Describe the actual site and scope when asking what applies. Confirm whether the address is in the county's jurisdiction or within a town with its own process.

A directory link is not approval

The homepage directory does not establish a permit fee, required drawing, inspection schedule, zoning determination or approval. Use the current department instructions and keep the application or permit identity assigned to the project.

Do not begin regulated work based only on this guide. A contractor's participation does not replace the property owner's need to confirm the controlling approval and inspection record.
