Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement's Green Permit Rebate Program

Green Permit Rebates Program suspended April 21, 2010

On April 20, 2010, the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners voted to suspend the Green Permit Rebates Program. The County will consider reinstatement of the program in the future, when Department revenue levels increase sufficiently to allow continued support of the program's rebates.

Previously approved applications will be honored.

Promoting energy conservation and resource management through sustainable building practices.

Mecklenburg County is projected to have a 50% population increase in the next 25 years. The County has adopted the 2015 Community Vision to protect our natural resources. To achieve this goal, the County must work with the development community to undertake growth in a sustainable manner.

To encourage building practices which minimize impact on our natural resources, Mecklenburg County is now offering rebates of up to 25% of the permit fee for projects which receive certification from one of the following programs:

Commercial Programs

The Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED)

The Green Globes Program

Residential Programs
