§ 153A-464 — Delivery of permits issued by county agency

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, each county agency shall establish a policy to send any permits issued by the agency to permittees using one or more of the following methods instead of requiring the permittee to pick up the permit at an agency office or other physical location:
(1) Via United States mail or a designated delivery service authorized pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 7502(f)(2). An agency may charge the permittee for costs of delivery.
(2) By electronic mail, as appropriate, if the permittee consents to such.
(b) A permittee may opt to receive a permit issued by a county agency in person if the agency offers in-person pickup at an agency office or other physical location.
(c) Nothing in this section is intended to change the method by which an applicant is required to apply for a permit or to prohibit an agency from adopting policies to exercise due diligence in verifying a permittee's identity.
(d) This section does not apply to any permit issued pursuant to Article 54B of Chapter 14 of the General Statutes. (2024-45, s. 22.1(b).)
