Code Enforcement

Planning a project in Summersville

Code enforcement helps residents, property owners, and businesses understand the City standards that apply to their properties and projects. The Code Official is a starting point for questions about local ordinances, permits, and code requirements.

How we can help

  • Find the appropriate permit application for a proposed project.
  • Ask questions about building and property code requirements.
  • Locate City ordinances and related application forms.
  • Connect a code-related concern with the appropriate City office.

Before you get started

When contacting the office, have the property address and a brief description of your plans ready. Ask which forms and supporting materials apply before beginning work. Requirements depend on the project; a general description on this page is not a permit or approval.
