Permits by ZIP code: common questions

How do I find building permits for my ZIP code?
Find your ZIP in the list: each one has a page with its permits by month, the kinds of work being permitted, the most active contractors and the latest filings. For every individual permit — address, contractor and status — search the ZIP in Permit Search.
Which North Carolina ZIP codes have the most building permits?
Over the last 12 months: 28078 (Huntersville) with 10,408, 28277 (Charlotte) with 8,682 and 28269 (Charlotte) with 8,062. Counts include trade permits where an office publishes them, which lifts ZIPs in Mecklenburg, Cabarrus and Greensboro.
Why isn't my ZIP code listed?
A ZIP gets a page once it has 50 or more permits in the last year at the offices we read. Quieter ZIPs, and ZIPs served by offices we don't read yet, are still in Permit Search wherever we have their permits.
