What Work Requires a Permit in Atlanta?

The Atlanta permit office requires permits for new construction, additions, alterations, repairs, demolitions, and changes of use. Permits are also required for accessory structures (decks, sheds over a certain footprint, fences over 8 ft, swimming pools), most plumbing and electrical work, mechanical systems including HVAC replacements, foundation repair, re-roofing, and signs. Cosmetic repairs — painting, flooring, cabinet swaps that don't move plumbing or electrical — typically do not require a permit.

When in doubt, the Atlanta development services counter can confirm whether a permit is needed for a specific project. Check the city's official permit portal or development-services line; we link directly to the source feed for every permit in our database.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often is the Atlanta data updated?

Publishing schedules vary by jurisdiction and source. The Atlanta data page shows the current source date and explains which fields are available.

Where do the contractor phone numbers come from?

Phone numbers come from a combination of state licensing board bulk exports (where the state publishes a downloadable licensee list with contact info), business registrations, and targeted web-search enrichment. We do not call contractors or hand-collect numbers — the data is sourced from public records.

Can I export the Atlanta contractor list to a CSV?

Available source-backed records can be explored on the Atlanta data page. See pricing for current plan and export terms.
