Note: No building permits are required in Greene County at this time but you may want to check at your local library or town/city clerk’s office to see if your community has a Comprehensive Plan or Development Plan that may include your property.  Copies of the Greene County Comprehensive Plan are available for those who live in the unincorporated part of the county. Also, any Town/City plans, if available, will be at the town/city clerk’s office for that community.
