Social Distancing Requirements for On-Site Inspections
To protect customers, staff, and the community from the spread of COVID-19, Wake County Permitting and Inspections is implementing increased social distancing requirements for on-site inspections.
Effective immediately, before an inspection can begin and at the discretion of the inspector, the area of inspection must be clear of all contractors, subcontractors, property owners, or any other workers/employees/laborers associated with the project. This includes the entrance to and exit from the area of inspection. (Example: if stairs are needed to access the area of inspection, the stairs should be cleared.)
Failure to clear the area of inspection may result in the denial of inspection services and you will have to reschedule. Thank you for your patience.
Wake County Inspections & Permits 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.
