Zoning Permits

A zoning permit is the Town's approval for a proposed use or development. Setbacks, lot configuration, parking, landscaping, and stormwater are reviewd. Any of the following activities require a zoning permit:

• Land distrubance  (Including tree removal, grading, landscaping, parking lots, etc.)
• Accessory Structures (including but not limited to swimming pools, fences, garages, carports),
• Signs
• New Businesses
• Food Trucks
• Temporary Sales
• Solicitor/Door to door sales

Interior work that does not change the use of a property, cause an increase in land disturbance, and does not change the footprint of a structure does not requre a zoning permit, but may require a building permit. 

Building, electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, and Fire Inspections are handled through the Granville County Inspections department.
