Goose Creek Lake
Permits & Land Acquisition
Per the Goose Greek Covenants and Restrictions, permits are required for various types of improvements to property. Information on building permits is contained within the covenants for Goose Creek. A Building Permit Packet can be obtained by coming into the Goose Creek Office. We have packets outside office doors also. You may pick one up and by clicking below and you may print a packet fill out and mail to office with payment. Just a reminder that Goose Creek permits are only good for 6 months, then they will need to be renewed. Once the permit is submitted to the office no changes are allowed. You will need another permit for any work you did not include in the first permit. If you have any contractors doing your work, you must get them a workers pass from the office to enter Goose Creek. They will need to show proof on insurance along with the property owner’s name. These passes will be kept in the guard shack.
