Home improvement and structural projects in Gastonia follow a two-step process worth understanding: as of August 2022, actual construction permits — building, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing — are issued by Gaston County Building & Development Services rather than the city directly. Homeowners must first obtain a Zoning Permit from the City of Gastonia's Planning Department, located at the Garland Municipal Business Center, before applying for the construction permit through the county. In addition to this two-step permitting process, trade contractors must meet North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors requirements — a state license is required for any project valued at $40,000 or more. HandVetted verifies state licensing, verifies general liability insurance, and confirms local business registration before matching providers with Gastonia residents.
