                  provisions of G.S. 14-413(a1). The fire code official of the local jurisdiction must

                  can be performed in full compliance with the North Carolina State Fire code, NFPA
                  standards and issue appropriate permit(s) where applicable. The Cabarrus County Fire
                  Marshal Office will issue permits for all other municipal jurisdictions within Cabarrus
                  County and the un-incorporated areas of the county.
