How long might review take?
N/A; no standard plan-review timeline was published on the reviewed County page.
How are inspections scheduled?
Use the County’s InspectNet portal to request an inspection: https://inspections.ansoncountync.gov/Home/index. The department issues building, electrical, fire, mechanical, plumbing, manufactured-home, and related inspections; the County application requires zoning approval, utility information, and any required plans before processing.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?
The County department enforces applicable North Carolina State Building Codes and County ordinances for building, electrical, fire, mechanical, and plumbing work, as well as manufactured-home and related permits. As of the current 2026 research, the 2018 North Carolina State Building Code remains in effect while implementation of the 2024 Code is delayed by state certification and publication requirements. The County provides an owner-exemption affidavit and separate permits for building, demolition, signs, manufactured homes, and the individual trades. The reviewed County materials do not provide a complete list of statutory cosmetic or minor-work exemptions; obtain zoning approval and confirm with the office before starting.
