As we continue through the COVID-19 Virus period we have opened our doors to the public with new safeguards in place. All documentation submitted in the office will be held in quarantine for 24 hours same as the outside drop off box. It is because of this we encourage when possible digital submissions and credit card payments, these can be processed without the quarantine delay.
- Please conduct any and all business by phone or email. This includes general inquiries, submission of permits, plans and paperwork. We accept email submissions for permit and application requests. All applications can be found on our website. https://web.culpepercounty.gov/Government/DepartmentsA-C/BuildingDepartment/BuildingFormsandDocuments
Email submissions – permits@culpepercounty.gov
Inspection requests – inspect@culpepercounty.gov
- Certain plan submittals and other paperwork that cannot be submitted via electronic means or postal mail can be left in the secure drop off box located by the door on the main floor of 302 N Main St. with contact information and completed applications.
Please feel free to contact our office with any questions. We truly appreciate your patience and help during this time
