How permitting works in North Carolina
North Carolina counties are the central "hub" for permitting. While cities can run their own departments, the county's role is to provide comprehensive permitting and inspection services for all unincorporated land and for any town that elects to "contract back" to the county for these specialized services.
Counties permit for smaller towns via contract.
