Development Services supports the Planning, Engineering, and Inspections departments by overseeing all aspects of the site development and permit process. The department is responsible for receiving, processing, assessing fees, and issuing approvals for all plan and permit types. Development Services staff serve as the primary point of contact between customers and internal teams to ensure applications are handled accurately and efficiently from start to finish.
There are a number of projects and processes that require permits or approvals, including: Supplier Assessment
Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
If your permit requires changes, you will receive an email directly from the permit's plan reviewer outlining the necessary revisions. Once you have addressed the reviewer's comments, email the revised plans directly to the plan reviewer.
Important: Do not resubmit revised applications or plans to permitsubmittals@townofclaytonnc.org.
The Town of Clayton has established internal deadlines for applications based on industry trends and historical performance. Please note that review times are estimates and not guaranteed turnaround times. They are subject to change without notice.
Review times only reflect the duration for technical review by staff and do not include Development Services' processing time, known as a Sufficiency Check.
To request a building inspection, call the Inspection Request line, 919-359-8717, before 4:00 p.m. the day before the inspection is needed.

In an effort to streamline processes, the Planning and Engineering Departments are now offering the option of a combined site plan (or major subdivision/preliminary plat)/CD review process.
Site Plans, Construction Drawings, and Stormwater Management plans can now be reviewed concurrently.
A new application for the combined site plan/construction drawing review has been created and can be found on the list of Planning Applications above. The Town will continue to offer the option for these plans to be submitted and reviewed separately at the applicant's request. For questions regarding the new combined process, please contact the Planning Department.
