Before you call, in Pinehurst
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Pinehurst?
Yes, if it's over 18 inches tall. The Village requires a fence permit for any fence, wall, driveway column or retaining wall over 18 inches, and extra standards apply in the Historic District. Permits go through the Village's online Permit Center, and the Planning line is (910) 295-1900.
Source: vopnc.orgDo I need a permit to put in a patio in Pinehurst?
Patios are on the Village's list of residential work that needs a permit. Pinehurst also limits how much of a lot can be hard surface, counting patios, walkways, gravel and driveways, so the size of a new patio has to fit that number. Jake sizes the design with that in mind.
Source: vopnc.orgDo I need a permit to take down a tree in Pinehurst?
Usually not on your own lot. A tree in the Village right-of-way needs Public Services approval at (910) 295-5021, a Historic District property may need a certificate of appropriateness, and big land-disturbing work may need a development permit.
