About each permit
Zoning, Building Permit and Certificate of Occupancy — None in Unincorporated Area (County Commission Statement)
The St. Clair County Commission's letter dated September 8, 2025 states: "St. Clair County does not have zoning rules and regulations and does not require a building permit in the unincorporated parts of the county. St. Clair County Commission does not require a certificate of occupancy." The county therefore issues no zoning approval, building permit or certificate of occupancy for the unincorporated area and charges no fee for one. The same letter says state regulations requiring contractors to hold appropriate licenses apply, that there are restrictions in a flood plain (see the floodplain permit), and that sales and use tax laws apply during and after construction. This is the county's own statement; a business inside a city is under that city's zoning and building rules, which each municipality runs separately.
