The Building Inspections Office is responsible for ensuring public health, safety and
welfare associated with the construction and use of buildings. The department
inspects all building construction for compliance with the Virginia Uniform Statewide
Building Code. The Building Code requires that a building permit be obtained from the Building
Official to construct, alter, repair, add to and remove or demolish any building or
structure in Franklin County, the Town of Boones Mill and the Town of Rocky Mount. Permits
also are required for the installation of fuel and gasoline tanks. Regulations are
designed to make certain all buildings and structures meet the Virginia Uniform Statewide
Building Code and setback standards.
Applications for all permits are filed in the Building Inspections office. Applications
must be approved and fees paid prior to issuing a permit and before beginning any construction.
Required inspections and a certificate of
occupancy issued by the Building Inspections Office are required before a building or
structure shall be occupied.
Information relating to permits and building codes may be obtained by
calling the Franklin County Building Inspections Office.
