This division preserves and conserves Cobb County's natural resources while promoting the general safety of Cobb's residents through the administration and enforcement of construction codes.

Site construction approval is required for all land disturbing activities except for those activities (minor landscaping, single family residence construction, agriculture) outlined in Section 50-74 of the Cobb County Code. In addition to typical land disturbing activities (residential subdivisions, commercial or institutional development), approval is required for activities such as timber harvesting, borrow/fill sites, and speculative grading. Additional permitting may also be required by State and Federal agencies.

Site Inspections Sections

Once the construction documents are approved, a Land Disturbance Permit will be issued. This permit only allows for the placement of initial sediment and erosion control devices. Upon a successful inspection of these controls, the Site Inspections Section issues field permits for various site construction activities. Please view the Erosion & Sediment page for more information on this division.
