Code & Permit Pathways

We navigate Dekalb County Development Services (Commerce Drive) inspection workflows and historic district overlays efficiently.

Featured Question: What Concrete Work Requires a Permit in Dekalb County?

Most commercial concrete work and residential additions exceeding certain square footages require a building permit from Dekalb County Development Services. This includes foundations, slabs, parking lots, and flatwork that's part of a building project or major site work.

  • Commercial projects: Land Development Permit plus New Construction Permit for buildings and site improvements.
  • Residential additions: Building Permit required for new slabs or foundations extending from homes.
  • Repairs and replacements: Check with Development Services; some alterations may avoid permitting if under cost thresholds.

We handle the full permit process—plan submission, inspections, and Certificate of Occupancy coordination.
