Residential Building Permit
Required for new construction, additions, alterations, repairs, demolition, and moving of structures in unincorporated Wayne County. The Wayne County Building Department, via its single county-wide Building Inspector, issues and reviews all building permits under the standard 'Application for Building Permit and/or Certificate of Occupancy — Building Department - Wayne County' form. The same form and inspector serve incorporated towns within the county (confirmed via Loa Town's own building-permits page, which lists the identical inspector and directs residents to the county process) as well as unincorporated areas.
