# NC permits and inspections guides

Guides: NC permits and inspections.

- [Certificate of occupancy in North Carolina](</guides/certificate-of-occupancy-nc/>)

  NC occupancy permission depends on an issued compliance certificate or an authorized temporary certificate. Coordinate the finals and remaining permit conditions.
- [Framing inspection: what the inspector expects](</guides/framing-inspection/>)

  Raleigh framing inspection follows approved rough-ins and dry-in. Keep required connections, flashing, bracing, and stopping visible for review.
- [Insulation inspection before drywall](</guides/insulation-inspection/>)

  Obtain framing approval, complete concealed insulation and air-barrier work, and secure the required inspection result before drywall starts.
- [Lead-safe renovation for pre-1978 homes](</guides/lead-safe-renovation-rrp/>)

  For covered pre-1978 renovation, verify the contracting firm and assigned renovator through North Carolina’s lead-safe program before work begins.
- [Demolition and asbestos rules in North Carolina](</guides/nc-demolition-asbestos/>)

  Resolve asbestos applicability and accredited work before disturbance. Local demolition approval, structural surveys, and utility control need separate checks.
- [Erosion control and stormwater on NC home sites](</guides/nc-erosion-control-home-sites/>)

  Check disturbed area, the larger development plan, current permit coverage, and control responsibilities before a grading crew opens ground.
- [Deck and porch permits in Raleigh](</guides/raleigh-deck-permit/>)

  Confirm the Raleigh permit scope, site constraints, accepted structural details, and exposed-work inspections before committing to a deck or porch build.
- [Shower pan inspection and water test](</guides/shower-pan-inspection/>)

  Assign the shower water test and obtain the required approval before tile conceals the pan, membrane, and drain interfaces.
- [Common reasons residential inspections fail in Raleigh](</guides/why-residential-inspections-fail/>)

  Use the written inspection result to assign corrections, gather missing tests and documents, and verify readiness before requesting reinspection.
