Do you provide PE stamping for Charlotte-Mecklenburg permits?

Yes. Charlotte and Mecklenburg County jobs are reviewed and stamped by a North Carolina-licensed PE. Tell us whether the set is going to Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement for building review or to the City of Charlotte for site review.

Can an out-of-state PE stamp North Carolina plans?

No. Engineering submitted for a North Carolina permit needs an engineer licensed by NCBELS. AllInStamp only routes North Carolina projects to North Carolina-licensed engineers.

Do you stamp coastal and high-wind projects in North Carolina?

Yes. Coastal homes, decks, additions, and repairs in high-wind and flood zones are common North Carolina requests. Include the wind zone, flood zone, and county with your upload.

Start a new quote with North Carolina selected, upload your plan set, and the tool prices it by page count right away. Add the county or city so we can match that department’s portal and checklist.

When a North Carolina permit needs a PE stamp

North Carolina inspections departments ask for a North Carolina PE seal on structural design, non-prescriptive foundations, commercial MEP and fire protection plans, and residential work that falls outside the prescriptive provisions of the North Carolina Residential Code. Common requests include commercial upfits, structural repairs and beam replacements, retaining walls, deck and porch framing, truss and girder reviews, and rooftop solar.

Engineering for a North Carolina permit needs an active license from the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors (NCBELS). AllInStamp verifies the license before stamping. The sheet-by-sheet seal, signature, and firm identification rules are covered in our North Carolina PE stamping guide.

PE stamping in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County

Building plan review in Charlotte runs through Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement, which now uses its AccelaMeck portal for new projects, from small commercial jobs and upfits to large and mega projects. Site and land development plans are a separate review by the City of Charlotte, which takes PDF submittals only through its own Accela portal and requires a Self-Certified Gateway Checklist, signed by the submitting design professional, with commercial and urban plan submittals.

Tell us whether you need the building set, the site set, or both, and which portal it is going into. The engineer then checks that the sealed sheets and calculations match what that reviewer expects, so comments focus on the project instead of missing engineering.

Raleigh, Wake County, Durham, Greensboro, and the coast

Inside Raleigh city limits, permits go through the City of Raleigh Permit and Development Portal. Unincorporated Wake County, along with Knightdale, Rolesville, Wendell, and Zebulon, is handled by Wake County Permits and Inspections on a separate portal and account. Durham City-County Building & Safety takes digital submittals through Dplans and wants building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and fire plans uploaded as separate files. Greensboro reviews commercial plans through its Plan Review & Tracking portal and expects the full set, every discipline, in one submittal.

We also cover Wilmington, the Outer Banks, Asheville, Fayetteville, and the rest of the state. There is no single statewide portal, so each county or city sets its own upload format and checklist. If your jurisdiction is not listed, choose North Carolina in the quote form and enter the county or city, and attach any checklist the department has sent you.

Which code edition applies, and coastal wind zones

The 2024 North Carolina State Building Code has been adopted, but its effective date has been delayed by the General Assembly. Under S.L. 2025-2 it takes effect 12 months after the State Fire Marshal certifies that publication is complete and the Residential Code Council is fully constituted. Until then the 2018 code remains in effect, although the Office of the State Fire Marshal notes the 2024 code may be used when the building owner or their agent requests it. Tell us which edition the design follows so the engineer reviews against the right book.

Near the coast, the North Carolina Residential Code adds high-wind provisions for the 130, 140, and 150 mph zones and coastal and flood plain construction standards, and exterior walls in 130 mph and higher zones are designed by accepted engineering practice. Note the wind zone and flood zone at intake for any coastal or Outer Banks project.
