GEORGETOWN — Many jurisdictions require permits to demolish old buildings, but not Sussex County.
By code, county officials can order a building demolished, but there is nothing in the code requiring citizens in unincorporated areas to obtain a permit before tearing down a building.

That may change in 2012. Councilwoman Joan Deaver, D-Rehoboth Beach, said her constituents are interested in an ordinance to protect historic buildings. “I'm getting a lot of comments and lot of people who are interested in testifying in support of the ordinance,” she said. “The list is growing, but we need people from western Sussex to support it as well.”
