PLAN REVIEW
The Bureau of Buildings performs plan review services to verify compliance with Building Code, Life Safety Code, and the Georgia Accessibility Code. All plans submitted for issuance of a building permit must be accurate, legible, drawn to standard scale, include dimensions, and meet minimum industry-wide acceptable architectural and engineering standards. Plans marked "Not Released for Construction,” “Preliminary” and “Permit only” shall not be accepted for review unless otherwise noted for site and foundation permits.
The City of Atlanta reserves the right to require additional information for plan review analysis.
PERMIT ISSUANCE
Once plans are approved, the permit will be released for issuance by the plan reviewer. The plans are then verified and finalized and paid for at the City of Atlanta, Department of Finance.
Note: Acceptable methods of payment are electronic check, cash, VISA, MasterCard, or certified check. Business checks will not be accepted.
Each site for which a building permit has been issued is required to be posted with a sign within 24 hours in a conspicuous location and remain posted for 30 days. The sign shall have a copy of the permit, and shall not be less than six square feet, with the words “NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMIT” in letters not less than four inches high.
A notarized affidavit must be filed with the Clerk of Council certifying under penalty of perjury the date on which the required sign was posted. (This posting is not required for repairs and alterations that do not increase square footage).
