Safer-at-Home Order in Effect - Planning and Development Services (DSC) Continue Most Operations OnlineThe Development Services Center (DSC) lobby has been closed to walk-in customers due to COVID-19, and customer service, development review, and inspections services have continued remotely. After further assessing the safety and demand for in-person services in light of alternative telephone, email, and web-based services available, DSC management has decided to extend the lobby closure through July 6, 2020.
Any modifications to this timeline will be announced prior to July 6.
If a service cannot be provided remotely, an in-person option may be arranged in advance with strict adherence to social distancing standards and use of a face covering. As more programs and services return, and businesses reopen, we remind everyone to adhere to Durham’s Safer-at-Home Order that went into effect June 1.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact us at:
*NEW* Interim Virtual Neighborhood Meeting GuidelinesIn order to allow for a safer alternative to the traditional neighborhood meeting during the current COVID-19 pandemic, virtual neighborhood meetings are temporarily being allowed. For more information on requirements for virtual neighborhood meetings please see the Virtual Neighborhood Meetings Guidelines document.
