Permit Center

NOTICE: There will be no Building Inspections done on Monday, April 30, 2018, due to mandatory training for field inspectors. This does not apply to Site/E&S, Fire, and Code Enforcement Inspections. Thank You!

Digital Plan Review

In July 2017, we made the transition to digital plan sets for plans larger than 11" x 17".  Digital plan submissions reduce waste, save time, save money, and  enhance how we communicate results to you.

Please submit plans on thumb drives, CDs, or e-mail them to us at permitcenter@roanokeva.gov.

We appreciate your cooperation in the transition to a nearly paperless permitting process.

If you have questions or concerns, please e-mail them to us at permitcenter@roanokeva.gov.

The Permit Center oversees the intake, issuance, and inspection schedule of all building, zoning, and development permits for the City of Roanoke. Located on the first floor of the Municipal Building in Room 170, the Permit Center provides a single source for information related to development review and the permitting process.
