Allow Time for Permits


Allow enough time for permits and compliance with regulatory agencies. Obtaining a demolition permit in Georgia might require contacting the following entities:
  • State of Georgia
  • Municipality
  • Neighborhood Planning Unit (NPU)
  • Condo or homeowner's association
  • Historic preservation board

Each of these associations has its own rules and procedures.

City and County demolition permits can take anywhere from one hour to one month or longer for plan review and for issuance. Some municipalities require pre and/or post inspections to finalize the permit.  In addition, the EPD requires a 10 business day notification prior to demolition.
