About Harpers Ferry
Premium contracting in Harpers Ferry.
Harpers Ferry homeowners usually mean ZIP 25425, which reaches well beyond the small historic town itself. Across the ZIP, about 13,332 people live mostly in detached houses built from the 1970s through the 2000s (median year built 1986), so the typical project here is a kitchen, bath, basement, or deck on a house that is now 25 to 50 years old. The first thing we check is the parcel, because a 25425 address can be inside the town or on county land. On unincorporated county land, permits go to the Jefferson County Office of Building Permits and Inspections at 116 East Washington Street, Suite 100, in Charles Town, phone (304) 725-2998. That office covers remodeling, additions, finished basements, and decks. Inside the town limits, the town's own land-use code applies (Article 1701), and designated historic buildings and the historic district fall under the Harpers Ferry Historic Landmarks Commission. The National Park Service site is not the private-permit office for a home project on county land. We confirm which rules apply to your parcel before the estimate.
