The Building Permits and Inspections section assists citizens, builders, and developers secure building permits in compliance with the North Carolina State Building Code. The first step is to obtain zoning approval from the Town of Selma. Various types of inspections are conducted in order to secure a Certificate of Occupancy and Compliance to occupy a structure.
New businesses should verify the zoning district of individual properties by contacting the Planning Director, before applying for necessary permits. A Zoning Permit from the Selma Planning & Economic Development Dept. must accompany a building permit application for a new structure, addition, or change of use. For more permit types, see the list of development permits below.
Commercial Use Upfit Tenant Change
Major or Minor Site Plan-Commercial or Multi-Family Permit
Single Family or Duplex Residential – New Construction or Site Modification Permit
Consistent with State law, the Town Fire Chief conducts periodic Fire Code inspections on commercial structures. These inspections are shown at the owners’ expense at a rate set by the State of North Carolina. Fire Code compliance is essential to the safety of the persons using, visiting, and being housed in commercial structures.
