APPLICATION FOR
CAMA MINOR
DEVELOPMENT
PERMIT
In 1974, the North Carolina General Assembly passed the Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA) and set the stage for guiding development in fragile and productive areas that
border the state’s sounds and oceanfront. Along with requiring special care by those who
build and develop, the General Assembly directed the Coastal Resources Commission
(CRC) to implement clear regulations that minimize the burden on the applicant.
This application for a minor development permit under CAMA is part of the
Commission’s effort to meet the spirit and intent of the General Assembly. It has been
designed to be straightforward and require no more time or effort than necessary from
the applicant. Please go over this folder with the Local Permit Officer (LPO) for the
locality in which you plan to build to be certain that you understand what information he
or she needs before you apply.
Under CAMA regulations, the minor permit is to be issued within 25 days once a
complete application is in hand. Often less time is needed if the project is simple. The
process generally takes about 18 days. You can speed the approval process by making
certain that your application is complete and signed, that your drawing meets the
specifications given inside and that your application fee is attached.
Other permits are sometimes required for development in the coastal area. While these
are not CAMA-related, we urge you to check with the Local Permit Officer to determine
which of these you may need. A list is included on page two of this folder.
We appreciate your cooperation with the North Carolina Coastal Management Program
and your willingness to build in a way that protects the resources of our beautiful and
productive coast.
