What shapes a project in Raleigh
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Newer homes dominate
About 48 percent of Raleigh's housing units were built in 2000 or later, according to the 2024 American Community Survey, and fewer than 8 percent date from before 1960.
Many townhomes
About 14 percent of Raleigh's housing units are single-family attached homes such as townhomes, and about 44 percent are detached houses. Shared walls and association rules often shape what can change.
Historic overlay districts
Any exterior change to a property in a General or Streetside Historic Overlay District, or to a Raleigh Historic Landmark, needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before work begins, regardless of other permits. Many projects can be approved by staff as minor work.
