Digital permit application gateway
Start with the issuing authority’s own submission lane. A complete application package, accurate valuation, and accessible inspection path are the fastest route through statutory plan review.
Recommended first click
Use the official digital gateway to submit plans, monitor review comments, pay required charges, and request inspections when the permit is issued. If the link is unavailable, use the agency website or phone number on the administrative profile to confirm the current lane.
Typical review lane
Ask the agency for its current review estimate
Treat this as a planning signal, not a guaranteed approval date. Completeness, corrections, resubmittals, and agency workload control the actual clock.
Verify the parcel is inside this agency’s service area and note whether a city, state, fire marshal, septic authority, or utility district also has approval authority.
Prepare legible plans, site information, project valuation, ownership authorization, contractor information, and any energy, floodplain, zoning, or utility documentation the issuing office requires.
Keep the permit number, approved plan set, correction comments, fee receipts, and inspection results together. Those records establish the compliance trail for the next trade.
Application documents
Before submission, call 304-758-5155 if the project involves a change of occupancy, structural alteration, accessory structure, demolition, or work near a regulated environmental feature.
Source trail
Use these direct agency or licensing links to confirm current instructions before you file, pay, or schedule work. External pages control if their information differs from this directory.

Submit the two-page application, one copy of plans and specifications, and a WV Flood Tool location map to Floodplain Manager Tom Cooper. Call 304-758-5155 to coordinate review and inspections. The Administrator may inspect during construction and later inspect permitted development for alterations; flood-hazard-area occupancy and permanent utility approval require a certificate of compliance based on inspections and any required finished elevation, floodproofing, hydraulic, or encroachment documents. Work must start within 180 days and finish within 18 months unless a written extension is granted.
Tyler County Floodplain Ordinance and National Flood Insurance Program development standards. A county permit or certificate of compliance is required before development, new construction, substantial improvement, substantial-damage repair, or placement/relocation of a structure. The county publishes no general structural model building-code suite. No general minor- or cosmetic-work exemption is published. The ordinance requires a permit before building any structure or dwelling in the county; even projects outside the 100-year floodplain require the $25 determination permit. Public utilities and government entities must also comply unless specifically exempted by law and must document any claimed exemption.
What makes an application complete
Before you click submit, make sure the drawings agree with the site plan, project description, valuation, ownership authorization, and contractor information. If the work changes structure, occupancy, drainage, fire protection, energy performance, or utility demand, describe that scope plainly. Ambiguous narratives create correction cycles and delay the field schedule.
Save the confirmation number, payment receipt, uploaded plan set, and every correction comment. Those records are the backbone of a defensible compliance file when multiple trades or agencies share responsibility.
Submission quality check
Site: address, parcel, access, setbacks, and existing conditions are consistent.
Scope: structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire, and energy work is identified.
Closeout: inspection contacts and the final approval path are understood before work begins.
