While the work is underway to lay the grade and foundation, the trade contractors can be contacted to obtain their respective mechanical permits. They will need their State Contractor’s card and a copy of their business license for the current year. You will also need a survey letter indicating the exact location of the foundation footprint (form boards) in relation to all property lines and easements. This letter will be required before the first inspection can be made.

After all inspections are completed and approved, a Certificate of Occupancy can be issued. To obtain a Certificate of Occupancy you will need to bring the following information to the Henry County Building Department:

  • The signed building permit card
  • The termite treatment letter
  • If on a septic system, an approval letter from the Henry County Health Department is required.

Inspection Procedures

Henry County employs Combination Inspectors. This means you will only have one Commercial Inspector to schedule with on your job. As the central point of contact, we request that the General Contractor’s superintendant call in all inspection requests, since this individual will logically have all of the schedules on the job.

Inspections are called in to your inspector. If the inspector is not available, please leave a voice mail message.

Our deadline for same day inspection requests is 9:00 AM. Any inspection requested after this time will be routed out the following business day.

We typically conduct the inspection on the same day in which it was called. However, if for some reason an inspection was not done the day it was routed, it will be set as a priority the next business day.

In the effort to be good stewards in the efficient use of our time and money, we typically do not schedule an inspection for a given time. However, if for some reason time is a concern, we will do what we can to accommodate your scheduling need (i.e. - placing concrete, business hours of operation, etc.).

Permit Fees Worksheet
 

The fee schedule for the building permit is $3.70 per thousand dollars of the valuation calculated from the ICC Valuation Data Tables. If the estimated cost of construction exceeds this calculation, the estimated cost of construction will be used to calculate fees.

A plan review fee will be charged for the plan review of all buildings and structures except one and two family dwellings. The plan review fee shall be 25% of the building permit fee and is payable when the building plans are submitted for review.

Impact Fees for Commercial and Industrial construction are assessed individually based on their Land Use Category.

An Impact Fee calculation may be requested from the Lead Commercial Building Inspector. Contact Brian Gardiner at (770) 288-6102.

NOTICE:
Recent changes in state law now allow certain plats to be recorded without the prior approval of Henry County.  Pursuant to the Official Code of Georgia Annotated §15-6-67, no approval from Henry County is required to record a plat if no new streets or roads are created or no new utility improvements are required or no new sanitary sewer or approval of a septic tank is required.

A recorded plat is required for all building permit applications; however, no building permit can be issued on any lot that does not meet the minimum dimensional standards as required by zoning.  Zoning information may be reviewed in Chapter 2 of the Unified Land Development Code or by contacting the Planning and Zoning Department at 770.288.7526.

If you have questions about your plat or property, please contact our Plan Review and Environmental Compliance Department at 770.288.6190.

Final Plat Review Procedures

On initial submittals, please submit six (6) copies for distribution and review by the appropriate departments. This initial review process will take approximately ten (10) days. Under normal circumstances, we will complete the review process before then and will notify the developers.

When redlines are returned to the developer, we will include a bill for street signs as well as a punch list for any field work that may need to be completed. In the meantime, be sure to turn in all required information to the Project Administrator of Henry County Water Authority so that we can get approval from them for the final plat. When redlines have been corrected, submit the mylar and five (5) copies, all with original signatures. 

Once the plats have been returned and all submittals approved they will be transmitted to the final plat committee. This committee normally meets once a week. After approval by the committee, the plats are then signed by the appropriate people. Please allow at least two (2) days after the committee signs off on plats to obtain these additional signatures.

After the plats are signed, the developer will then be notified to pick up the mylar and to provide additional copies (22 sets for County or 27 sets for City of Stockbridge*). When these copies are returned, the developer will be provided with three (3) copies with original signature for recording.

* Effective 1/1/06, any projects in the City of Stockbridge will be required to adhere to the city’s new bond and platting requirements.

Below is a “checklist” of items that must be submitted and approved prior to final plat approval:

  1. Completed application
  2. Final Plat fee
  3. Maintenance bond (if applicable)
  4. Right of Way Deed
  5. Right of Way Recording fee
  6. Street sign payment
  7. Water Authority approval
  8. Core Test approval
  9. As built approval – drainage and storm water
  10. As built approval – hydro detention pond
  11. Copy of Protective Covenants
  12. Correction of all field work punch list
  13. Electronic submittal

The above items are all addressed in the application packet which you may pick up in the Development Plan Review Department.

If questions should arise before your final plat is ready for recording, please feel free to call either Prentiss Redding or Karen Atkinson at 770-288-6064, otherwise you will be notified promptly each time your plats are ready to be picked up.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation in the final plat process.
