*Special Notice: In mid-June 2023, new water conservation rules went into effect that apply to all NEW water fixtures, like faucets, toilets and landscape irrigation systems. Existing water fixtures are not affected. Water fixtures for residential homes are also subject to different standards than water fixtures for commercial businesses. A summary of the new regulations can be found using this link.
Sub-contractors should not submit a separate component permit. All subcontractors working on construction projects are required to submit the Sub-Contractor Form along with the other Required Documents (see below). As a sub-contractor, you will be linked to the existing approved general construction permit. This includes plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, electrical, low-voltage electrical, fire alarm systems, and fire sprinkler systems. Subcontractors may submit their forms via Email once the general construction permit has been issued.
NOTE: Dunwoody’s Community Development operations have moved to CentralSquare. READ MORE
