Efficiency is key

Winston-Salem/Forsyth County operates a combined Planning, Zoning and Inspections division to allow for a streamlined permitting process.

The Planning Board and the Legacy Citizen's Steering Committee have worked to create a plan - called the Legacy Comprehensive Plan. The Legacy Plan addresses issues related to current development patterns, establishes a clear vision for our future, and lays out a strategy designed to help us balance future growth and quality of life. Residents have envisioned a thriving economy, safe, livable neighborhoods, a commitment to preserving environmental quality, and community character.

The original draft Legacy Plan was adopted by Forsyth County and its municipalities in 2001. An updated version of the plan was completed in 2003. For more information visit the City of Winston-Salem website.
