Permitting is highly decentralized; the City of Winston-Salem handles its own permits, while the County Planning and Development Services department manages permits for unincorporated areas and smaller towns. Geographic overlays include specific watershed protection ordinances and flood hazard areas that require additional review by the County Planning department.
The county enforces a specific Watershed Protection Ordinance that mandates strict impervious surface coverage limits for properties located within designated water supply watersheds.
