(A) Each permit application shall be filed, in writing, with the Inspections Department. All applications shall include materials listed below. Failure to submit all required materials will result in denial of the applicable permit(s).
(1) Name and address of the owner and, if applicable, the name and address of the authorized agent.
(2) Signed statement of ownership of property.
(3) If applicable, signed statement from owner authorizing agent to obtain requested permit(s).

(B) Each application shall indicate the proposed use or occupancy of all parts of the building and of that portion of the site or lot, if any, not covered by the building, and shall contain other pertinent information as may be required by the Inspections Department.
(C) When required by the Inspections Department, two or more copies of specifications and of drawings, drawn to scale with sufficient clarity and detail to indicate the nature and character of the work, shall accompany each application. The Inspections Department may require details, computations, stress diagrams, and other data necessary to describe the construction and basis of calculations, and they shall bear the signature of the person responsible for the design. Plans for all buildings shall indicate how required structural and fire-resistive integrity will be maintained where a penetration of a required fire-resistive wall, floor, or partition will be made for electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and communication conduits, pipes, and systems and also indicate in sufficient detail how the fire integrity will be maintained where required fire-resistive floors intersect the exterior walls.
(D) No permit shall be issued unless the plans and specifications are identified by the name and address of the author thereof.
(E) Where North Carolina law requires that plans for certain types of construction be prepared only by a registered architect or a registered engineer, no permit shall be issued unless the plans and specifications bear the North Carolina seal of a registered architect or registered engineer.
(F) Where North Carolina law requires a licensed contractor for certain types of construction, no permit shall be issued for such construction except in compliance with the law.
(G) Where necessary to determine compliance with code standards, the Inspections Department may require tests or test reports. Such tests must be made by an approved testing laboratory or other approved agency, at the expense of the applicant. Copies of test reports or the results of tests shall be kept on file in the Inspections Department.
(H) No permit shall be issued unless the Inspections Department determine that the proposed site conforms to the Subdivision Regulations of Greene County, the Zoning Ordinance of Greene County, the Manufactured Home Park Ordinance of Greene County, the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance of Greene County, the Greene County Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance and all other applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. No permit shall be issued on a lot in a proposed subdivision until the subdivision has received final approval by the Greene County Planning Board and the subdivision map has been duly recorded in the office of the Greene County Registrar of Deeds. Substandard lots of record shall be exempt from this provision provided the applicant can prove to the Inspections Department that the particular lot for which an application for permit is made was clearly defined and a deed has been duly recorded in the office of the Greene County Registrar of Deeds prior to the adoption of the amendment to the provisions of this section by the Greene County Board of Commissioners.
