The City of Douglas has specific codes and ordinances that apply to homes and businesses built or renovated within the city limits, in accordance with State, Federal, and International Building Codes. Before starting any construction or renovation project, home/business owners should contact the Building Inspections/Permits office to see if a permit is required for the project.

“We encourage our citizens to maintain their homes and make any necessary repairs or renovations that promote healthy and safe living conditions,” says Georgia Henderson, Community Development Director. “Education on behalf of the property owner is key. Calling our office before a citizen begins improvement projects on their property could save time and, most importantly, money if the project is not properly permitted and inspected.” 

Securing the necessary building permits for planned projects—such as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work; building a deck; installing or repairing a roof; making structural alterations; adding or remodeling a home or business; installing a sign or canopy; constructing/adding accessory buildings; and other improvements—is essential for compliance with local regulations. This process also helps protect the integrity and value of the property.

Homeowners, business owners, and contractors who are unsure about the City of Douglas building codes and permit fees should contact Shane Pridgen or David Mittenen in the Building Inspections and Permits office before starting any work. Call (912) 389-3423 or email spridgen@cityofdouglasga.gov or dmittenen@cityofdouglasga.gov. Several permit applications are now available on the city’s website at www.cityofdouglasga.gov/buildingpermits.
