This involves the Administrative management, review, and issuance of various types of Permits and certificates, including Certificates of Occupancy/Certificates of Completion/Certificates of Compliance. 

  • The Town partners with Wake County Inspections & Permits Department and utilizes its 'Permit Portal' (ENERGOV) as the platform for permit processing; via this, Wake County implements its' adopted Building Code. 
  • The Wake County Fire Department implements the Fire Code via Permits. 
  • Permitting often also involves the City of Raleigh Utility Department when water/sewer services are involved. All permits are obtained and paid for through the Wake County Permit Portal and the City of Raleigh Public Utilities Permit Portal.  

For additional information regarding permits, please visit the Permits webpage.

The Planning Department advises citizens, staff, and elected officials on policies for land use, housing, transportation, zoning, and growth management. The department manages and administers the provisions in the Land Development Ordinance through the review of land development (entitlement) applications and various types of Permits.  The Town's land use and development vision, as well as its long-range goals, are outlined in the Comprehensive Plan, which serves as the basis for all future policy decisions regarding land use and growth.  Upon and as directed by the Board of Commissioners, the department also conducts long-range studies, performs and reports on research, and generally provides information sharing.

Rolesville’s jurisdiction includes the Town’s corporate limits and, in accordance with General Statute 160D-202, for the purposes of zoning, subdivision, and land development regulations, parts of unincorporated Wake County referred to as Rolesville’s Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). 

The Town has adopted Annexation Agreements with the Town of Wake Forest and the City of Raleigh for the unincorporated (County jurisdiction) lands in between them to the west/northwest and south/southwest, respectively. Find out if your property is in Rolesville’s Town Limits or ETJ by viewing the zoning map.

Community participation is essential to the planning process. Your input and ideas have merit and value, and the Town staff welcomes your insight and feedback. Please submit your thoughts to planning@rolesvillenc.gov.

Land Development Enforcement is often confused with Town Code Enforcement. 

Land Development Enforcement ensures compliance with the Land Development Ordinance, including accessory structures (decks/garages/sheds), food trucks, home occupations, and sign compliance.

Town Code Enforcement ensures compliance with the Town Code of Ordinances, including property maintenance (e.g., grass & high weeds), reported street & traffic violations (speeding/stop sign avoidance/potential vehicle violations), and noise ordinance investigations (blasting & construction after approved hours, and music) are enforced by the Town Administration and the Town Police Department.
