| BUILDING PERMITS |
Contractors (and property owners doing work on their own
structures) must obtain a building permit from the county's
Building Inspector before they construct, enlarge, alter,
repair, convert or demolish a building in Charlotte County
except when the activity is identified as an
exemption in the
Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code.
All building permit applications must be approved, fees
paid, and permits displayed before work can begin. A
certificate of occupancy must be obtained from the Building
Inspector before a building or
structure can be occupied.
If you have any questions
regarding building permit requirements, please contact the

**If a zoning permit is required for the project, a zoning permit application must be completed by the
property owner and approved by the County's Zoning
Administrator before a building permit can be
obtained.
**For new construction, building permit applicants must also
have an approved septic tank and well permit (from the Charlotte
County Health Department) if access to public
water & sewer is not available.
