Building permits, zoning and land rules in Pleasants County, West Virginia
67Index Score / 100 #22 of 55 in West Virginia
Unincorporated Pleasants County, West Virginia has limited county permitting focused on floodplain development rather than a confirmed general residential building-permit program.1 Available county information indicates no countywide zoning, but we could not confirm that status from an ordinance, so confirm parcel-specific rules with the County Clerk.2 Septic permits go through the Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department.3

Do you need a building permit in Pleasants County, West Virginia?
Pleasants County's available county information describes permitting as limited to floodplain development rather than a general residential building-permit program.1 West Virginia's State Building Code applies in counties and municipalities that adopt it; state promulgation alone does not make the code automatically applicable everywhere.8 We could not confirm a countywide residential code-adoption record or a general county permit schedule for unincorporated Pleasants County. Ask the County Clerk whether the proposed project needs any county approval, and contact Floodplain Management before disturbing land in a mapped flood area. The county's floodplain page provides its floodplain ordinance and a building-permit application.9 A project inside a municipality can face municipal requirements that do not establish a rule for unincorporated land.10
Who handles building permits in Pleasants County?
Pleasants County lists Floodplain Management, not a general building department, as the confirmed county office tied to building-permit materials.1 The Floodplain Management office is at the Pleasants County Courthouse and publishes a county floodplain building-permit application.9 For a project outside a mapped flood area, start with the County Clerk and ask whether a county permit, adopted code, inspection, or occupancy approval applies to the particular use.11 West Virginia law authorizes county commissions to adopt building and housing codes for some or all unincorporated areas, but that authority does not prove Pleasants County adopted one.12 Do not use the City of St. Marys fee form as a countywide fee schedule: its published permit fees and process apply within the city.1310
Does Pleasants County have zoning?
Available Pleasants County information indicates no countywide zoning, although we could not confirm that status from a countywide zoning ordinance or official statement.2 Before relying on that indication, ask the County Clerk whether the parcel is unincorporated and whether any county land-use ordinance, subdivision rule, or recorded restriction affects it.11 West Virginia allows a county zoning ordinance to cover the entire county or only parts of its jurisdiction, so a statewide grant of authority does not answer a parcel-level question.14 Local subdivision ordinances, when adopted, can establish lot-size and setback standards; state law does not supply one uniform numeric minimum for every Pleasants County parcel.15 Floodplain requirements remain separate from general zoning and can regulate development in mapped areas.5
How do septic permits work in Pleasants County?
The Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department oversees sewage and septic systems in Pleasants County.16 After the percolation test, the owner must submit the septic application and fee; a sanitarian evaluates the site, test holes, and separation from the water well before issuing the permit.4 During installation, the tank, trenches, piping, and crossovers must remain uncovered, and the health department requires advance notice for inspection.17 Call the Pleasants County health office before choosing the final house and well locations.18 Soil suitability is a major constraint: only about 2.9% of county soils are rated without severe limitations for a conventional septic drain field.19 A private well also needs a local health-department permit before drilling, modification, or abandonment.7
Can you live in an RV or tiny home in Pleasants County?
We could not confirm a countywide Pleasants County rule for full-time RV living, temporary camping, tiny-home occupancy, or minimum dwelling size. Available county information indicates no countywide zoning, but that indication does not establish that every parcel or use is unrestricted.2 Ask the County Clerk about the intended occupancy and whether the parcel lies inside a municipality, subdivision, or regulated floodplain.11 Floodplain development has a separate permitting system, so an RV pad, utilities, grading, fill, or a tiny-home site in a mapped flood area may require review.5 Septic requirements still apply to onsite sewage disposal regardless of the home's label.4 An owner may personally perform construction without a contractor license, but that exemption does not waive an applicable permit, building code, inspection, or occupancy requirement.6
Building a home in Pleasants County: what are the steps?
Confirm whether the parcel is unincorporated and ask the County Clerk what county or municipal rules apply.11
Check the flood map and contact Pleasants County Floodplain Management before grading or building in a mapped flood area.95
Arrange the septic evaluation through the Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department before fixing the house and well locations.4
Obtain the required local health-department permit before drilling, modifying, or abandoning a private well.7
Obtain a Division of Highways permit if the new driveway connects to a state highway.20
Obtain state construction-stormwater authorization if land disturbance reaches 1 acre or is part of a larger common plan.21
Keep the septic installation uncovered and arrange the required inspection before backfilling.17
What should you check before buying land in Pleasants County?
Start with the usable homesite: only about 14.9% of Pleasants County land has a slope of 15% or less, while only about 2.9% of soils avoid severe conventional septic limitations.2219 Evaluate the house, septic field, replacement area, well, driveway, and flood exposure together before closing. Confirm whether access enters a state highway, because a new state-highway driveway requires a Division of Highways permit.20 Ask Floodplain Management whether mapped floodplain development controls affect grading, fill, stream crossings, utilities, or structures.59 For carrying costs, the effective property-tax rate is about 0.6%, and the median annual property-tax bill is about $752.2324
Watch-outs
Pleasants County's general residential building-permit scope and code-adoption status remain unconfirmed; ask the County Clerk before construction.111
Available county information indicates no countywide zoning, but we could not confirm that status from an official countywide statement; verify the parcel and intended use with the County Clerk.211
A City of St. Marys building-permit form and fee schedule is municipal, not a countywide rule for unincorporated Pleasants County.13
Conventional septic suitability is severely limited across most of Pleasants County, with only about 2.9% of soils rated without severe limitations.19

Pleasants County rules
Who permits septicMixed (with conditions)
Sewage and septic systems in Pleasants County
MOVHD Environmental Health oversees sewage and septic systems in Pleasants County under West Virginia public-health requirements.
“The MOVHD’s Environmental Health (EH) Department oversee sewage and septic systems in Calhoun, Pleasants, Ritchie, Roane, Wirt and Wood.”
Septic permitRequired
Installation of an individual septic system in Pleasants County
The septic application and fee must be submitted after the percolation test.
The permit is issued after the sanitarian evaluates the site, percolation holes, and required separation from the water well.
The permit should be obtained before construction.
“When the percolation test is completed, the owner is required to submit a septic application and fee. A permit is issued to the owner once the sanitarian has visited the site to evaluate the site, percolation holes and insure the septic system is required distance from water well, etc.”
Septic inspectionRequired
Individual septic-system installation in Pleasants County
Tank, trenches, piping, and crossovers must remain uncovered until inspection.
The MOVHD Environmental Health Department requires 24-hour notification for inspections.
“Tank, trenches, piping, crossovers must be left uncovered until the sanitarian can inspect. The MOVHD EH requires 24-hour notification for inspections.”
Building permitLimited
West Virginia has no statewide residential building code; Pleasants County maintains only a Floodplain Management office, so permitting is limited to floodplain development rather than a general building permit.
A property owner or occupant personally performing construction work on a structure, for purposes of exemption from West Virginia contractor licensure.
The exemption concerns contractor licensure and does not itself waive any applicable building permit, State Building Code, State Fire Code, inspection, or certificate-of-occupancy requirement.
The statute separately exempts work personally performed by an owner or lessee on property whose primary use is agricultural or farming enterprise.
If the owner hires another person to perform the work for compensation, the hired person may be subject to contractor licensure requirements and building-permit prerequisites.
“Except as otherwise provided in this code, the following are exempt from licensure: [...] Work personally performed on a structure by the owner or occupant thereof;”
Building code adoptedPartial
West Virginia's State Building Code framework and its application in counties and municipalities that adopt the code.
The State Building Code has force and effect in counties and municipalities adopting it; it is not automatically applicable statewide solely by state promulgation.
A county or municipality may adopt the code only prospectively, not retroactively.
Buildings or structures utilized primarily for agricultural purposes are exempt from the State Building Code, the State Fire Code, and any adopted county or municipal building code or ordinance such as the ICC International Property Maintenance Code.
If another state law, county or municipal ordinance, or agency regulation imposes a more stringent or higher standard and is not inconsistent with West Virginia law or contrary to recognized standards and good engineering practices, that provision governs.
Enforcement is the responsibility of the respective local jurisdiction.
The active State Building Code rule is West Virginia Code of State Rules 87-04, effective August 1, 2022.
effective date: 2022-08-01
“The rules shall be in accordance with standard safe practices so embodied in widely recognized standards of good practice for building construction and all aspects related thereto and have force and effect in those counties and municipalities adopting the State Building Code: Provided, That each county or municipality may adopt the code to the extent that it is only prospective and not retroactive in its application; Provided, however, That buildings or structures utilized primarily for agricultural purposes shall be exempt from the provisions of the State Building Code, the State Fire Code, and any county or municipal building code or ordinance that is or may be adopted, such as the ICC International Property Maintenance Code.”
InspectionsLimited
Fire and life-safety inspections by the West Virginia State Fire Marshal for occupancies subject to the State Fire Code.
The State Fire Marshal inspection mandate excludes one- and two-family dwellings.
The State Fire Marshal may enter dwelling houses during construction and before occupancy to determine compliance with conditions of permits or licenses issued by the State Fire Marshal.
State Fire Code exemptions include buildings used wholly as dwelling houses for no more than two families and buildings used primarily for agricultural purposes, subject to the stated farm-structure exceptions for group sleeping, health care, or detention/correctional occupancy.
“The State Fire Marshal shall inspect all structures and facilities, other than one- and two-family dwelling houses, subject to the State Fire Code and this article, including, but not limited to, state, county, and municipally owned institutions, all public and private schools, health care facilities, theaters, churches, and other places of public assembly to determine whether the structures or facilities are in compliance with the State Fire Code.”
Certificate of occupancyRequired
A new building, an existing Industrial or Storage occupancy, or an existing building in which 50% or more of the space has been renovated or reconstructed, when covered by the West Virginia State Fire Code.
The certificate of occupancy must be obtained before the building is occupied or used for its intended purpose.
The certificate may involve the State Fire Marshal’s Office and is not limited to issuance by that office alone.
The State Fire Code does not apply to buildings used wholly as dwelling houses for no more than two families or buildings used primarily for agricultural purposes, except farm structures used for group sleeping accommodations for farm workers or for health care or detention/correctional occupancy.
Where applicable, projects must be designed by a licensed architect or professional engineer and obtain review approval from the Authority Having Jurisdiction before construction or the covered renovation/reconstruction.
After January 1, 2025, owners or occupants applying for a final inspection or certificate of occupancy must submit plan-review documents electronically.
renovated or reconstructed space threshold: >= 50 percent (Existing building; the rule also covers every new building and existing Industrial and Storage occupancies.) · plan review completion period: <= 45 days (The Authority Having Jurisdiction must notify deficiencies; the owner or occupant has 10 days to submit additional documentation, and the AHJ has 10 days to complete review once requirements are met.) · electronic filing requirement effective date: 2025-01-01 (Applies to documents submitted for final inspection or certificate of occupancy.)
“The owner or occupant of a new building, existing Industrial and Storage occupancies, or an existing building that has had 50% or more of the space renovated or reconstructed, shall obtain a certificate of occupancy including but not be limited to the State Fire Marshal’s Office alone, before the building is occupied or used for its intended purpose.”
Zoning districtsPartial
West Virginia zoning ordinances and zoning district maps adopted by county or municipal governing bodies.
West Virginia law permits counties and municipalities to enact zoning ordinances; it does not provide a single statewide district map in the cited sources.
A county zoning ordinance may cover the entire county or only parts of it.
A municipality's zoning ordinance covers its entire jurisdiction.
Zoning boundaries and classifications must be shown on a zoning district map.
Certified maps must be filed with the applicable governing body, planning commission, and county clerk.
The cited sources do not identify the actual district names or maps for each county or municipality.
“The boundaries of each zone and the designated classifications must be shown on a zoning district map. The boundaries may only be changed after appropriate public hearing and zoning district map changes are adopted by the governing body.”
Minimum lot sizeSpecified
Subdivision and land-development ordinances adopted by applicable West Virginia governing bodies and administered through applicable planning commissions.
The cited statute requires local subdivision and land-development ordinances to include lot-size standards but does not establish a single statewide numeric minimum lot size.
Actual requirements may vary by local ordinance, zoning district, subdivision type, or applicable exemption.
The statute also provides for waivers from minimum standards.
lot-size regulation: Subdivision and land-development ordinances must include standards for lot sizes. (Local standards and waivers may apply.)
“The standards for setback requirements, lot sizes”
Accessory dwellingsAllowed (with conditions)
At least one accessory dwelling unit by right on a lot or parcel containing a single-family dwelling within a West Virginia municipality, subject to the statutory definition and applicable regulatory requirements.
The accessory dwelling unit must be self-contained and independently accessed, be on the same parcel as a larger single-family dwelling, and include cooking, sleeping, and sanitation facilities.
The unit may be attached, detached, or internal to the single-family dwelling.
An attached or detached unit may not exceed 75 percent of the single-family dwelling's gross floor area or 1,000 square feet, whichever is less.
The municipality may impose applicable fire, building, construction, zoning, and other federal, state, and local regulatory requirements.
A municipality may require a water-system and sewer-system will-serve letter, or Department of Health approval where municipal or private water or sewer service is unavailable.
A municipality may charge an application-review fee up to $250 per accessory dwelling unit, in addition to usual building fees.
The statutory restrictions apply to policies, regulations, or ordinances in effect on or after January 1, 2027, and conflicting provisions are invalid to the extent of the conflict.
The statute does not regulate short-term rentals and does not supersede applicable regulatory requirements.
maximum detached or attached ADU size: <= 75 percent of primary dwelling gross floor area (The alternative cap is 1,000 square feet, and the lesser limit controls.) · maximum detached or attached ADU size: <= 1000 square feet (The alternative cap is 75 percent of the primary dwelling gross floor area, and the lesser limit controls.) · maximum application-review fee: <= 250 USD per accessory dwelling unit (Usual building fees may be charged in addition to the application fee.) · conflicting municipal policy effective date: >= 2027-01-01 (Conflicting provisions are invalid to the extent of the conflict.)
“a municipality shall not adopt a policy, regulation, or ordinance that restricts, prohibits, or otherwise regulates the use of at least one accessory dwelling unit”
Well permitRequired
Drilling, modifying, or abandoning an individual water well in Pleasants County
The permit must be obtained from the Local Health Department before drilling, modifying, or abandoning the well.
The well must be drilled by a licensed well driller.

Required — Drilling, modifying, or abandoning an individual water well in West Virginia.
“Residents of West Virginia who want to have a well drilled, or who wish to modify or abandon an existing well, must apply and obtain a permit from their local health department prior to drilling, modifying, or abandoning the well.”
Subdividing landRegulated (with conditions)
Subdivision and land development subject to a local subdivision and land-development ordinance adopted under West Virginia law.
The local ordinance must include minor and major subdivision processes, planning-commission approval authority, review, approval, recording, fees, waivers, and improvement-location permits.
The statute allows exemptions for certain land development, including single-family residential structures and farm structures.
The cited statute does not itself provide one uniform statewide subdivision approval process for every parcel; local governing bodies and planning commissions administer the ordinance.
planning-commission approval: Required before development commences when a subdivision and land-development ordinance applies. (Applicable local exemptions and ordinance provisions may apply.) · plat recording: Required before construction commences after approval. (The plat is recorded in the clerk's office of the county commission where a majority of the land lies.) · fees: A schedule of fees proportioned to the cost of checking and verifying proposed plats.
“plans and plats must be approved by the applicable planning commission”
Driveway accessRequired
New driveways or approaches connecting private property to West Virginia state highways or located within state highway rights-of-way.
The permit is free of charge from any Division office.
Permits are granted only for legitimate access to private property and when location, design, and construction comply with Division of Highways specifications.
Driveways must not be located in sharp curves, on steep grades, within intersections, or where they interfere with signs, signals, or drainage.
Unauthorized driveway installation can result in a fine or removal.
The source directs applicants to check with the applicable District Office before building.
“A reminder from the Division of Highways to property owners building new driveways — don’t forget your permit. Available free of charge from any Division office, permits are required by state law in order to assure that there is no uncontrolled access to state highways that would reduce the road’s safety or interfere with efficient movement of traffic.”
Building in a floodplainRequired
Development in floodplains regulated by participating West Virginia counties and flood-prone municipalities, including dredging, filling, grading, excavation, and stream crossings.
Every county and flood-prone municipality participates in the NFIP and has an ordinance regulating floodplain development.
Most stream-restoration projects involving dredging, filling, grading, or excavation are considered development for which a county or community permit is required.
Before altering or relocating a watercourse, the applicant must consult the local floodplain permit officer regarding whether a permit is required and the fee.
Approximate A zones require written assurance that flood-carrying capacity will be maintained; except for extremely small projects, this generally requires pre- and post-development engineering studies showing no unacceptable rise of 1 foot or greater.
AE zones without a designated floodway may not create more than a 1-foot cumulative rise, and an engineering study may be required.
AE zones with floodways require hydrologic and hydraulic analysis showing zero rise in base flood elevation.
Before issuance, the permit officer requires copies of all other federally or state-required permits.
Permit cost varies.
unacceptable rise threshold: >= 1 ft (Except for extremely small projects in Approximate A zones.) · cumulative rise limit in AE zones without floodway: <= 1 ft · base flood elevation rise in AE zones with floodway: 0 ft · permit cost: varies
“Every county and flood prone municipality in West Virginia participates in the National Floodplain Insurance Program (NFIP), and has an ordinance to regulate development in the floodplain. The ordinance includes a flood map that designates floodplain areas, and establishes a permitting system to regulate new development in the floodplain.”
Permit processPartial
WVDEP construction stormwater authorization for residential, commercial, and industrial land-disturbance operations statewide.
A permit is required for sites disturbing one acre or greater, including smaller sites that are part of a larger common plan of development.
The owner/developer is responsible for obtaining the permit when ownership and operation differ.
Applications must be submitted through WVDEP's Electronic Submittal System.
A Notice of Termination is required after completion and stabilization.
disturbance threshold: >= 1 acre (Smaller sites that are part of a larger common plan of development are included.)
“If you are going to disturb one acre or greater you are required to first obtain a stormwater construction permit. All applications for coverage under the construction stormwater general permit must be submitted through WV DEP's Electronic Submittal System (ESS).”
county zoning authorityGeneral
West Virginia counties adopting zoning for all or part of their jurisdiction, including unincorporated areas.
The county governing body must work with the planning commission and the public to develop the zoning ordinance.
The ordinance may cover the county's entire jurisdiction or only parts of it.
The statute also authorizes municipalities to regulate land use within their own jurisdictions; municipal zoning is not county zoning.
No effective date or fee is stated in the cited provision.
“(3) Enacting a zoning ordinance. (b) A zoning ordinance may cover a county's entire jurisdiction or parts of its jurisdiction.”
county building authorityGeneral
West Virginia county commissions adopting and enforcing building and housing codes for residential construction in unincorporated portions of the county.
The county commission must act by order duly entered of record.
Codes may establish and regulate minimum building and housing standards for improving health, safety, and well-being.
Codes may apply to the entire county or any portion or portions constituting an effective area; the county need not adopt the code for other portions.
The code does not apply within a municipal corporation that has adopted and has in effect a housing and building code unless and until the municipality provides otherwise by ordinance.
Structures on parcels used primarily for agricultural purposes are excluded.
Any county property-maintenance code or ordinance must exempt property used for agricultural purposes and is unenforceable as to agricultural property.
Existing county building codes became void one year after promulgation of a state building code by the State Fire Commission; after that voidance, a county adopting a building code must adopt the state building code.
A county may adopt the state building code after promulgation, but it does not apply within a municipal corporation that has not adopted it.
“county commissions are hereby authorized and empowered, by order duly entered of record, to adopt building and housing codes”
