NOTICE: INSPECTIONS AROUND THANKSGIVING
There will be reduced inspections on Thursday, November 21, 2024.
County Offices are CLOSED on Thursday and Friday, November 28-29 in recognition of Thanksgiving. No inspections will take place on these days. Please plan accordingly.
NOTICE regarding HVAC and PLUMBING inspections
In order to be more efficient, the Mechanical section will now require that HVAC and Plumbing inspections are coordinated for the same day when applicable i.e. HVAC & Plumbing rough-ins, celling covers, and finals. This requirement will enable the Mechanical inspections section to inspect more locations daily.
Please assist us in spreading this information to fellow contractors.
Please call (770) 528-2060 with additional questions.
In accordance with House Bill 461, Cobb County will be changing the way permitting fees are calculated. Fees will no longer be calculated solely based on job costs. The updated fee schedule is calculated based on square footage and flat fees. This change will take effect on 7/1/2024.
