Inspections and Permits

The Inspections/Development Plans/Permits Division (IDPP) is part of the Community Services Department. Wake IDPP provides building inspections and permitting services for all unincorporated areas of Wake County and, through contractual agreements, provides building inspection services for the towns of Knightdale, Rolesville, Wendell and Zebulon. Wake IDPP is a regulatory agency, with nearly all rules and regulations the results of County, state, and federal mandates. Building inspections and permitting is a cost-recovery program supported through user fees and not funded as a direct cost from County-assessed property taxes.
