A permit is required for all new construction.  Typical turnaround time for a zoning permit is forty-eight (48) hours depending on the date the permit is received.

The Town does not issue building permits, this is handled by Union County, however a zoning permit with the Town must be obtained in order to receive a building permit.  All inquiries regarding what is needed to obtain a Building Permit from Union County should be directed to the Building Code Enforcement Division at 500 North Main Street, Monroe, NC or by calling the following numbers: (704) 292-2582.
