Small Business Permit Process Guidance
Depending on the project, a small business building or up-fitting a facility may be required to obtain numerous permits.
New construction may require rezoning of the property. Existing facilities may require minor site plan approval for certain renovations or expansions.
Building modifications or new construction will require a building permit. Even sign installations require a sign permit.
Obtaining county permits can be cumbersome for a small business owner that has no experience or assistance navigating the process.
But we’re here to make it easier!
Chesterfield Economic Development offers guidance to small businesses going through the permitting processes.
Our staff will help identify which approvals are required for a particular project.
Our project manager will go through the entire process with small business owners and their contractors.
They will make sure all the required permits are in place when the business is ready to occupy the facility.
For information about development related procedures and fees, visit the Planning Department web page.
