Homeowners have the option to perform their own work, provided they secure the necessary permits. Building permits are mandatory for individuals, partnerships, businesses, or corporations embarking on any construction, reconstruction, expansion, modification, relocation, or demolition of a building or structure, which includes electrical or mechanical enhancements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Building permits need to be submitted to <a href=\"mailto:building@hurricanewv.com\">building@hurricanewv.com<\/a> or can be filled out in the Hurricane Municipal Building. Turnaround for permits is usually the same day, unless approval is needed from our Code Enforcement officer or our Utility Superintendent. It also is longer if plan review is required. Plan reviews require 2 hard copies with West Virginia PE Seals, mailed or dropped off to: Attn: Building Department, 3255 Teays Valley Road, Hurricane, WV 25526 and 1 electronic copy sent to <a href=\"mailto:building@hurricanewv.com\">building@hurricanewv.com.<\/a> This usually takes 7 to 10 business days to be approved. Once plans are approved, you will need to schedule a pre-construction meeting. After a successful pre-construction meeting, your permit can be processed. Permits are good for 6 months, and can be renewed one time free of charge if requested prior to expiration.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243;
