Residential Building Permit Application
Virginia State Code waives the need for a building permit in some cases. Specific exemptions are listed within Virginia State Code Section 108.2. Additional questions regarding exemption can be directed to the County’s Building Official.
Non-licensed individuals are allowed to serve as a residential general contractor. An affidavit is required at time of permit application to declare responsibility in the absence of a licensed contractor.
