Project questions
Frequently asked questions for Pleasants County
Who handles permitting for this jurisdiction?
Pleasants County Floodplain Administration is the identified county-level authority for this profile. Confirm that the property is in its service area before filing.
How should I begin an application?
No verified online portal was located in the reviewed public materials. Contact 304-684-2400 and request the current application route before preparing a final submittal.
How long might review take?
A typical review timeline was not verified. Ask the agency for its current completeness and review estimate.
How are inspections scheduled?
Contact 911 Director/Floodplain Manager Danny Greenleaf at 304-684-2400 for a floodplain determination, permit requirements, and any required compliance inspection before new development. The county office maintains flood maps and provides land-use recommendations intended to prevent flood damage.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?
Pleasants County administers local floodplain management under National Flood Insurance Program requirements and performs floodplain determinations for new development. The county does not publish adoption of a general model structural building-code suite. Its floodplain webpage links to a generic, uncompleted 2019 state sample ordinance rather than a county-executed ordinance, so sample-specific standards are not treated as verified county law. No specific exemption summary was verified; request written confirmation before treating work as permit-exempt.
