Build the project packet before assuming one form is enough
Greensville County's Building Inspections page says applications are available at the inspections counter or for download and that permits are issued during posted weekday hours or may be processed by mail. Its checklist includes contractor authorization when applicable, business-license verification, a plot plan, soil and erosion material, construction plans and water or sewer availability.
The required packet depends on the project. New entrances may involve a separate VDOT land-use route, and private well or sewer work may require Health Department approval.
Review the current county instructions before signing or sending a file.
Preserve review, inspection and occupancy boundaries
The county says typical residential plan review can take up to five working days and that nonresidential timing is project-specific. It requires permit holders to notify the department when an inspection is ready and states that 24 hours' notice is required for inspections.
A downloaded form, mailed packet, fee payment or inspection request is not permit issuance, a passed inspection or permission to occupy. Keep the permit number, written decision and each inspection result under the same project identity.
