Guilford County Planning and Development handles permits only for unincorporated areas and municipalities that have contracted with the county for enforcement. Incorporated cities like Greensboro and High Point maintain their own autonomous building inspection and zoning departments. Development in unincorporated areas is subject to specific watershed protection overlays and floodplain regulations managed by the county.
Guilford County enforces specific Watershed Protection Ordinances that impose strict density and impervious surface limitations on new development within designated water supply watersheds.
