The Mecklenburg County Fire Marshal's Office Fire and Life Safety Education team delivers a variety of fire prevention, public education, and community risk reduction programs.

Mecklenburg County Land Use and Environmental Services Agency (LUESA) is an umbrella organization providing many key services to Mecklenburg County residents. LUESA's responsibilities range from enforcing building and zoning codes to managing water and air resources for future generations. 

The Mecklenburg County Fire Marshal's Office has four core objectives that ensure exceptional delivery of public safety services to our customers and the different communities that we service throughout the year: Investigation, Education, Prevention, and Protection.

The Public Notices and Meetings Calendar includes upcoming hearings and meetings, as well as  information about County operations including deadlines, closings and other events intended to assist or provide transparency to citizens.

A Certificate of Compliance is required by the North Carolina General Statutes to represent that the scope of work, as described in the permit documents, is complete (finaled). At the conclusion of all completed work done under a permit, including all applicable Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, or Fire Code regulations, the Code Enforcement Official will final that particular permit (B, E, M, P) and shall issue a Certificate of Compliance. The contractor/customer will be able to download a copy of the Certificate of Compliance (CC) via the Code Enforcement Online Permitting System for each completed permit.

Mecklenburg County may elect to offer Temporary Certificates of Occupancy (TCO). A TCO may be used for a stated period of time and for specified portions of the building that Code Enforcement Officials find may be safely occupied before completion of the entire building.  Every permit (Building, Electrical, Mechanical and Plumbing) and agency holds associated with the project and its parent projects must be finaled (for permits) or released (agency holds) or have TCO approval.

Our processes are almost completely paperless, and that allows for data reporting and query tools that we like to share with our customers.
