Thanks to the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners, many of the septic permits that were set to expire are automatically extended to as long as Jan 1st, 2014.
The bill is designed to extend the life of certain state development permits and approvals for builders who have put a project on hold due to the economic situation. The bill affects any permit that was current and valid at any point between January 1st, 2008 and December 31st, 2010. This means any permit that was active on January 1st of 2008 shall be automatically extended.
This will help many developers and property owners not need to put a septic system in the ground right away. This is a good bill that will help many people. Thank you NC Commissioners!
