In Atlanta, building permits are issued by the City of Atlanta Office of Buildings, which enforces Georgia's state building codes. For projects beginning in 2026, the codes in effect include the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) for homes, the 2024 International Building Code (IBC) for larger structures, and several others covering mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and fire safety systems. Understanding what permits your project needs is important; contact the Office of Buildings at (404) 330-6150 with questions.

Georgia requires general contractors to hold a state license from the Georgia State Licensing Board for Residential and Commercial General Contractors. Residential Basic and Residential Light Commercial are the main residential license types. You can verify any contractor's license through the Georgia Secretary of State's GOALS online portal at verify.sos.ga.gov, searching by name or license number. This is a simple step to confirm the contractor is active and in good standing.

When you call a general contractor, ask whether they hold a Residential Basic or Residential Light Commercial license, and ask which permits your project will require. The contractor should handle permit applications as part of the work.
