CAPE CHARLES, Va. — The Cape Charles Planning and Zoning Department reported several key updates this week, including work on the town’s short-term rental permitting system, progress on historic preservation oversight, and the hiring of a long-awaited inspector.
Town officials held a conference call with Deckard Technologies for a full walkthrough of the registration site for new and renewing short-term rental (STR) permits. The session, attended by the Treasurer and Building Inspector, identified about a half-dozen corrections needed, particularly involving “true-up” information and calculations tied to business license requirements. A follow-up call is scheduled in two weeks as staff continue comparing the town’s database with Deckard’s records.
Meanwhile, the department has completed its annual status report on “Demolition by Neglect” cases in the Historic District. The report will be presented to the Town Council during its meeting on Thursday, Sept. 18, 2025. The cases are reviewed annually to ensure compliance with town regulations designed to protect Cape Charles’ historic structures.
In staffing news, the long-vacant inspector position, which will serve both the Building Department and Planning and Zoning, has been filled. Casey Quilter is set to begin work on Sept. 23, bringing additional support to a department that has managed much of the summer without an in-house inspector.
