About each permit
Commercial Building Permit
Starting work before the permit is obtained doubles the fee. Certificate of occupancy costs appear to be bundled into this permit fee rather than charged as their own separate line item.
Contractor Licensing — North Carolina State Boards (Greensboro)
The City of Greensboro's Engineering & Inspections page 'Contractor Licensing Verification Websites' points to five North Carolina state boards for contractor credentials — the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors, the State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors, the State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating & Fire Sprinkler Contractors, the NC Board of Architecture and the NC Board of Examiners for Engineers & Surveyors. That page lists no city contractor license or registration, so no city fee is shown; the license and its fee come from the relevant state board.
