Building Inspection and Permit
Before the remodeling or construction of any building or home in Cobb County, you must
contact the Cobb County Building Inspection Department. Should the estimated cost of new
construction or repairs to an existing building involve more than $250.00, or if any
structural changes are to be made in the building, you must obtain a building permit from
the Building Inspection Department before any work begins.
Also please contact the appropriate city office (if you are in an incorporated city of
Cobb County). You may not occupy a new building or a renovated building until all
construction is complete, final inspections have been completed and a Certificate of
Occupancy has been issued. Please be sure that your building is ready for inspection when
you request it.

Zoning
Once you have decided upon a location for your business, please contact the Cobb County
Zoning Department to find out: a) the appropriate zoning of the property, b) the types of
businesses or uses that are permitted by that zoning and applicable development standards,
and c) any specific restrictions. The Zoning Department also regulates roadside peddling
and the operation of any business in a person's home.
If a variance from the various development standards may be required, you should also
contact the Zoning Department to obtain assistance.
