Building Permits & Regulations in Cassique, SC: What to Know Before You Break Ground

Building in Cassique means clearing two separate approvals: the Town of Kiawah Island's building permit process and Cassique's own Architectural Review Board. Sequence these correctly and the timeline is manageable; skip a step and it isn't.

Town of Kiawah Island Issues Permits, Separate from Charleston County

Kiawah Island is its own incorporated town with its own Building Services Department handling plan review, permitting, and inspections. Confirm current code adoption and submission requirements directly with the Town before finalizing construction documents.

ARB Review Precedes Your Building Permit

Cassique's ARB process moves through conceptual, preliminary, and final design review stages, plus a final landscape plan review, before a building permit can be issued. Start this process early, since it typically runs in parallel with, not after, your design development.

Construction Must Complete Within Two Years of Permit Issuance

Cassique's guidelines set a two-year construction completion window from the building permit issue date, with required inspections at foundation, framing, and near completion. Build your construction schedule with this deadline in mind from day one.
