How permitting works in West Virginia
West Virginia cities have the authority to adopt the state building code. In cities that do so, the city's role is to provide local oversight and inspections; in cities that do not, the state fire marshal can exercise the permitting role to ensure safety standards are met.
Local enforcement; State backstop for safety.
