Finding the right permit office

  2. Confirm whether the city, town, township, borough, parish, county, or regional authority serves that address.
  3. Ask which permits, zoning approvals, plan reviews, and inspections apply to the project.
  4. Keep the official portal, permit number, approved plans, and inspection instructions together.

What to check in Georgia

Georgia's state minimum codes apply to all construction, but each city and county decides whether to run a permit and inspection program. Where one exists, it must enforce the current DCA editions and local amendments.

Mandatory state minimum codes, optional local enforcement. An address inside an incorporated city or another local jurisdiction may be served by a separate building department.
