Guilford County issues permits for unincorporated County, Jamestown, Stokesdale, Summerfield, Mitsett, Sedalia, Pleasant Garden and Oak Ridge.

Examples of development requiring grading permits include: subdivisions, shopping centers, commercial and industrial development, apartments, townhouses, churches, and recreational development. Exemptions from grading permit requirements include: disturbed areas less than (one) 1 acre in size, agriculture, mining, and area under State or Federal jurisdiction. A grading permit issued by Guilford County is valid for one (1) calendar year, unless the permit is revoked or the project is completed. The permit can be renewed for an additional six (6) month period by making a written request to the Guilford County Planning and Development Department, Inspections Division. Reissued grading permits do not have to pay another permit fee (unless revoked), but the erosion control surety must remain in effect.

If the appeal is denied, the applicant may further appeal to the North Carolina Sedimentation Control Commission. EROSION CONTROL INSPECTIONS Guilford County Erosion Control Staff will periodically inspect the sites of land disturbing activity to determine compliance with the plan. They will indicate any areas that are weak and help answer any questions that might arise. One important inspection is the point at which the devices (i.e., silt fences, sedimentation pits, eto.) have been installed. Maintenance inspection is the final inspection.
