Graham County Planning and Zoning issues building permits and manufactured home installation permits for the unincorporated county. All building and installation permit applications are submitted through the county's iWorQ online portal: one application covers new buildings, additions and remodels, and another covers garages, shops, sheds, carports, fences and walls, and pools.
Upload your building plans, the plot plan sketch, and a power of attorney form if you are not the property owner, or the submission will be rejected. A septic permit comes separately from the Graham County Health Department, and some properties need a drainage clearance from the County Engineer before a building permit is issued.
Schedule inspections at least one business day ahead with your permit number in hand. A failed final inspection costs a $50 re-inspection fee. Questions go to Planning and Zoning at 928-428-0410.
