Commercial Building Permit Application
Prior to project design, review jurisdictional Climatic and Geographic Design Criteria Data. Commercial plan review, depending on size and scope of project, requires a minimum of 15 business days to complete. All construction plans and specifications are required to be prepared by a registered design professional.
All commercial construction and development projects are subject to a site plan review through the Department of Engineering. The size and scope of the project will determine if a Minor Site Plan or a Major Site Plan is required.
If the property lies within town limits, zoning approval will be required from the town prior to applying for a building permit. To determine if your property is located within a town, please visit Rockingham County’s GIS Map.
