Utility Permitting

Are you interested in learning more about how utility permits are issued?

After construction drawings are submitted to the Town, Holly Springs staff review the drawings and assist the engineer with determining the appropriate permitting requirements. When staff determine that the project is ready to proceed to permitting, applicants may submit utility permit applications through the online development portal, CityView. The Utilities & Infrastructure Department will review applications and facilitate approval through the appropriate local and State agencies.

  • Utility permitting takes approximately 90 days from receipt of complete submittal to approved authorization to construct issuance but depends on the State permitting workload and review times. 
  • Failure to pay fees or incomplete or inaccurate applications are common reasons for delays in finalizing permit documentation.
  • To ensure you complete the most current utility permit forms, please visit the Forms, Review Schedules, and Fee Sheets page. 
  • For submittal guidelines, visit the Digital Submittals page.
