Permits in Forrest County are split between incorporated municipalities and the county jurisdiction. The cities of Hattiesburg and Petal manage their own building permits and zoning enforcement within city limits. The county building department oversees development and permitting for all unincorporated areas of the county.
Development within the Hattiesburg metropolitan area is subject to specific regional stormwater management regulations and flood zone requirements due to the proximity of the Leaf River.
Cómo encaja con el estado
La autoridad estatal aquí es Mississippi State Board of Contractors. El expediente del condado no la reemplaza — añade la oficina de permisos, las reglas locales y el camino real de presentación.
