The Building Official and Fire Marshall review building plans.

A contractor must be State-licensed and show a current City or County business license (anywhere in Georgia). If the homeowner applies for the permit, a business license may not be required.

Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire sprinkler contractors must show a copy of your business and State license to obtain a permit.

Asbestos reports and a business license are required for a demolition permit. If a homeowner requests this permit, just submit an asbestos report. If asbestos is found, the removal process must be noted.

For a historic district property, a Certificate of Preservation must be obtained from the HPC before a building permit will be issued.
City department representatives must approve and sign-off on the building permit application before a permit is issued.
