		Required
		If applicable

1 Guidelines are typical requirements. Application requirements will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis; additional information may be required upon review of your application.
2 Engineering may be required. All items must meet NC Building Code. Engineer seals must be original on at least 1 set of plans.
3 Will accept either a duplicate survey followed by a site visit or an original survey with original surveyor seal. Duplicate surveys must include all improvements constructed on the property.
A prior plan of development that was not actually field verified by a licensed surveyor will not be accepted. If duplicate surveys are not field verifiable, a current survey will be required.
4 A legible survey, site plan, or property diagram showing proposed improvements should be acceptable.
5 Current survey with proposed improvements sealed by a NC lic. surveyor should be used.
6 For certain smaller projects, as-built surveys may not be necessary if setbacks and lot coverage can be verified based on the original site plan and a field inspection.
For example, if an improvement is greater than five feet from a setback line and if more than five percent lot coverage remains, a field inspection should suffice in lieu of an as-built.
Staff reserves the right to request an as-built on a case-by-case basis.
7 Improvements to existing structures where the cost of improvements will exceed 50 percent of the value of the structure will be considered new construction for permitting purposes.
