Many times one of the most stressful steps in the\u00a0building process occurs at the very beginning when you’re\u00a0trying to obtain the necessary permits. Taking the time to thoroughly read all the\u00a0DeKalb County permitting requirements beforehand goes\u00a0a long way in lessening the strain.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 The first step\u00a0involves your\u00a0contractor. All contractors must be licensed in the state of Georgia, have a\u00a0current Georgia business license\u00a0and\u00a0they must be\u00a0registered with\u00a0DeKalb Development Services.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 All zoning requirements must be followed including floodplain status, residential building heights,\u00a0building setbacks, stream buffer\u00a0ordinances and specific requirements if your property is located in a historical district.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 Depending on when your home was purchased your information may not be updated in the county tax records. If this is the case\u00a0you will need to show\u00a0proof of ownership.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 Fill out all required applications, attach three copies of your site plan along with your environmental requirements form, tree ordinance exemption paperwork and the energy conservation compliance checklist. Include a check for all fees and someone will be in touch after your application has been reviewed and approved.<\/p>\n
