Cary: Review by Appointment for Small Residential Projects

6/21/2019

 
Beginning July 1, 2019, the Town of Cary will offer the opportunity for citizens and applicants to schedule SPOT (Small Project One-hour Turnaround) permit appointments online. They are introducing this opportunity to reduce wait times and allow your permit review to be more predictable. Using their online submittal portal you will be able to submit your residential permit application and schedule your appointment.  SPOT appointments occur Monday - Friday from 8:00-11:00 AM. 

Appointments must be scheduled 24 hours in advance. Once you have submitted your residential permit application and your requested SPOT permit appointment has been confirmed by staff, simply arrive at your scheduled appointment time and wait while your permit submittal is reviewed.  The Development Services Office is located on the first floor of Cary Town Hall at 316 N Academy Street.

Dealing with Wake County's most common well water contaminants

What?
Do you help private well users drink their water with confidence? Then you will want to attend this free training covering Radon and radionuclides in well water.

  •  Cost comparison of mitigation strategies and technologies

Speakers include subject matter experts from the Rutgers University Eastern Regional Radon Training Center, N.C. Radiation Protection Section; N.C. Division of Public Health; and Wake County Groundwater staff.

Who?
Wake County recommends this training for:
·    Home Inspectors
·    Treatment installers
·    Environmental health specialists
·    Other real estate and environmental professionals who work with private well owners and users

When?
Thursday, June 13 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where?
Wake County Commons Building
Room 100 C
4011 Carya Drive
Raleigh, NC 27610

Apex: Online Inspection Request Procedure

6/4/2019

 
To All Contractors,

The Town of Apex Inspections and Permits department will be implementing their new online inspection request procedure on or about  June 10, 2019.

As they prepare for the change, you may see some created inspections on the ePermit site.  Clicking on them will NOT schedule an inspection. For now, please continue to request inspections in the normal way until you are notified that the system is live.  

It will be very significant on your part to make sure you are requesting the inspections in the correct sequence. Inspections that you request will be scheduled as requested and any inspections requested out of sequence will be charged a  re-inspection fee of up to $150 when determined by the field inspection that the inspection is out of the normal sequence.  If you do not know or understand the correct sequence of inspections, please visit the website to view a flowchart:
Inspection Sequence - Foundation - Raised Slab
Inspection Sequence - Foundation - Basement
Inspection Sequence - Foundation - Superior Walls.
Inspection Sequence - Foundation - Mono Slab
Inspection Sequence - Foundation - Crawl Space

If you’ve reviewed the appropriate flowchart and still have questions, feel free to discuss with your inspector and/or visit Town of Apex office with questions.
 
Instructions for the new on-line system will be posted soon.
 
If you have any questions please contact the Town at 919-249-3418.
