Georgia building departments
This Georgia directory covers 159 Census county equivalents and local building-department guides. Georgia establishes state minimum standard codes and local governments administer permits. Local amendments, zoning, and inspection scheduling remain important.
How permitting works in Georgia
State minimum codes with local administration. A county name is a geographic index, not a promise that the county government issues every building permit. Many projects are handled by a city, town, township, borough, parish, regional office, or independent city.

Georgia Department of Community Affairs
Georgia establishes state minimum standard construction codes, while local governments that enforce them must adopt local administrative procedures. Confirm local adoption and enforcement with the city or county.
