Building Permit Checklist
Zoning:
If your project is in the town limits of Blackstone, Burkeville or Crewe, you must obtain a Zoning Permit from that locality and submit the approval to the county to apply for a building permit. (This applies to ALL jobs that need a Building Permit.)
New Dwelling Construction (stick built, modular, doublewide, or singlewide) on a county parcel requires a Zoning Permit from the County and Health Department approval. The Septic/Zoning Permit from the County is $30.00. You will take your Zoning Permit to the Nottoway County Health Department to apply for well and septic. Health Department approval is required prior to a Building Permit being issued.
Later Additions, Garages, Decks, Sheds, Pools, etc. require Zoning Permits from the County and will be submitted to the Health Department for approval prior to receiving a Building Permit.
Zoning Permits are not required on county parcels for Renovation, Electrical, Gas, HVAC, Generator, Demolition, Plumbing, Asbestos Remediation, or Tank Removal Permits.
Items Needed for Building Permit:
2 Sets of structural plans to include but not limited to footing/foundation design, exterior wall design, electrical with lighting fixtures and receptacles ; HVAC design (HVAC design does not apply to manufactured or modular homes). These can be dropped off when you apply for the Zoning Permit.
