Welcome to the NCPPA...and to our redesigned web site!
Online Membership Renewal and Online Conference Registration (available on our Forms page) and our Official NCPPA Online Store (available on the Quick Links page) are part of our ongoing efforts to better serve our members as our organization continues to experience strong and steady growth across our Great State.
The North Carolina Permitting Personnel Association was created in 2001 to provide permitting professionals across the State with a means of networking, education, and interactive discussion among its membership through classes, conferences, and our exclusive members-only email listserv.

Permitting Technician Certification
In late 2024, the North Carolina General Assembly passed legislation creating the Permitting Technician, an accomplishment that the NCPPA Board has worked on for several years. We now have a team working on creating the educational course content that will enable our members to attain State certification.
Project updates will be sent to members via the NCPPA listserv. If your agency isn’t yet a member of the NCPPA, joining is as easy as clicking on the Membership Application form. Don’t miss out on important information, educational opportunites, discounted conference registration, networking opportunities and more!
2025 Annual Conference
Registration will be opening this summer for our annual conference to be held in the Fall.
The 23rd Annual Conference of the North Carolina Permitting Personnel Association was held at the Hilton Garden Inn – Kitty Hawk on Thursday and Friday, November 21-22, 2024. The 100 professionals in attendance gained valueable knowledge, took advantage of numerous informal networking opportunities, and enjoyed a great atmosphere.
Board members are currently working on the 24th Annual Conference to be held in Fall 2025. Watch here for updates, and current members will be notified via email when more information is available.
If you have any questions regarding the conference please Contact Us.

NCPPA Attains ICC Chapter Status
The North Carolina Permitting Personnel Association is now an International Code Council Chapter. Chapter status is awarded to organizations of code-related industry professionals who support and promote the mission and goals of the International Code Council. Individually and as a group, chapter members work to create partnerships with members of the building community and increase public awareness of the value of code officials in our daily lives. NCPPA is honored to become the fifth chapter in North Carolina and joins the other four industry associations which include the Building Inspectors, Fire Marshals, Mechanical Inspectors, and Plumbing Inspectors. An important objective of our chapter is to develop and advance the professional abilities of our members by providing educational seminars and training, industry updates, networking opportunities, support and shared expertise and experiences.
