Wake County Updates S&E Control Fee based on HB489

9/23/2021

 
​Updated Sediment and Erosion Control Plan Review Fees for Single Family Lots (Effective October 1, 2021)
 
Effective October 1, 2021, the sediment and erosion control plan review fee for single family residential lots will be set at $100 per lot for applications submitted to Wake County, regardless of the acreage of land disturbance. 
 
The Wake County Board of Commissioners recently approved this change in response to House Bill 489, which restricts the erosion control plan review fees on single family lots within a residential development or common plan of development to no more than $100 per lot. 
 
This fee only applies to the review of erosion control measures for individual single family lot construction.  All other plan review and permit fees remain unchanged. 
 
For any questions regarding this change, please contact Ashley Rodgers at Ashley.Rodgers@wakegov.com or (919) 856-5531.
 

Wake County seeks input on draft PLANWake

12/22/2020

 
After starting the effort in late 2018 and taking a long pause due to the pandemic, the County is now seeking public input on their draft plan — known as PLANWake.

“This is about the future of Wake County,” said Greg Ford, chairman of the Wake County Board of Commissioners. “ Public input is critical to the success of a comprehensive plan, and this is your opportunity provide feedback about the direction it takes.”

The county launched the PLANWake process in September 2018. It included three rounds of community surveys, which garnered more than 150,000 responses. Residents weighed in on a broad array of topics, including land use and development, parks and open space, housing and neighborhoods, transportation options, economic opportunity, public services and facilities, and others.

The draft plan is the result of that research and collaboration — and Wake County needs community input to make sure we got it right. How can you help?
  • Review the draft plan and interactive map.
  • Take this short survey.

​When complete, the plan will include high-level policies that help guide decisions and actions addressing critical issues over the coming decades. Make sure your voice is heard. The survey will be open through the end of January 2021.
For additional information, visit planwake.org. 

Wake County Gov't Wasterwater Permit Options Presentation

5/22/2020

 
Wake County Government presented today, at an HBA Zoom meeting, permitting options that allow a more efficient permitting process for customers.  The presentation highlighted resequencing the permit application process using a building envelope.  The benefit of this process is that the wastewater permit can be applied for in advance of the final building permit application and enable the Wake County Environmental Services Department to begin the necessary site evaluation process as early in the builder’s timeline as possible.  In addition, staff provided an overview of the different wastewater permitting options and provided clarification to the well permitting process.

Please see the links below for copies of the slides from the meeting as well as some customer guidance documents.  Wake County Environmental Services staff wants you feedback on these options.  They are working diligently to help you more easily and smoothly get all the necessary permits to build beautiful homes in Wake County.
