Most building permits can now be submitted online via the Permit Portal.  You will first need to set up an account using an email address and password. After verifying your email address, you will be able to submit an application, obtain plan review comments, status updates, pay permit fees, and schedule inspections through the portal system.

Please note there is a $1,500 limit for all online credit card transactions. Permit fees exceeding this limit will need to be paid via electronic check in the portal system or at Town Hall via cash or check (made out to Wake County). At this time, we cannot accept in-person credit card payments.

Please contact Knightdale Development Services staff if you prefer to submit paper plans in person at Town Hall or if you need to submit a large commercial permit.
