Our Commitment

Our job is to help Greensboro to continue to grow as a great place to live and work. We welcome everyone who wishes to invest in the City. As investors go through the City’s development review process, construction review process and building inspections, disagreements may occur about what the City’s ordinances, regulations or policies require.

These processes do include formal appeal procedures to address such situations; however, the City Manager’s Office is always available to hear any concerns you may have. Our goal is to make sure that everyone feels they have been fairly heard in attempting to resolve disagreements. Please contact our office at 336-373-2002 if you have questions or concerns.
