Permits, Codes and Who Reviews Them

These are the agencies we check against on Metro Atlanta projects.

Code Paperwork Your Inspector and Insurer Can Read

Georgia's State Minimum Standard Codes sit on top of an IECC-based energy code with state amendments (2015 edition as the baseline, ASHRAE 90.1 as the alternate path; confirm the current adoption with your local building office). Each bid lists the insulation R-value, uplift design and permit documents the reviewer will ask for. Utility rebates, such as Georgia Power's custom envelope program, usually need pre-approval before work starts.

  • Insulation R-value stated per bid
  • Permit package prepared up front
  • Uplift design tied to insurer needs
Permits: City of Atlanta Office of Buildings (Department of City Planning)
For in-city projects. Sandy Springs, Marietta, Alpharetta, College Park, South Fulton and the counties run their own building departments; confirm which one covers your address.
Fire / inspection: Atlanta Fire Rescue Department, Office of the Fire Marshal
Confirm whether rooftop equipment, solar or hot work on your project needs fire review.
811: Georgia 811
Call before any ground work such as lift pads, crane set-up or staging that disturbs soil.
State codes: Georgia Department of Community Affairs (state minimum standard codes)
Georgia adopts state minimum codes with amendments; confirm the edition your permit office applies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Georgia codes govern a commercial re-roof?

The State Minimum Standard Codes apply, including the International Building Code with Georgia amendments. The commercial energy code is based on the 2015 IECC with state amendments, and ASHRAE 90.1 is an alternate path. Permits come from the City of Atlanta Office of Buildings or the local jurisdiction where the property sits. Confirm current editions with that office.

What are installed ranges for each system?

TPO $5.25–$9.00/sq ft, PVC $6.75–$11.50, EPDM $4.25–$7.50, standing seam $9–$17 and coatings $2.75–$5.25. Tear-off adds $1.50–$3.50/sq ft.

Which system best fits Georgia's storms and humidity?

It depends on the building. Reflective TPO or PVC suits most flat roofs, and standing seam suits owners prioritizing uplift and long life. Whatever you choose, design wind uplift to the actual exposure and manage condensation.

Who handles a storm leak at 2 a.m. in Cobb or north Fulton?

Project Steps

What you can expect, in order.

  • Site survey: Measurements, core samples where needed, and a look at drains, curbs, parapets and rooftop equipment.

  • Options and approvals: We lay out system choices side by side and check the permit path with City of Atlanta Office of Buildings (Department of City Planning) before work is scheduled.

  • Build the roof: Tear-off or overlay, insulation, membrane or panels, then flashings and edge metal, in that order.

  • Inspect and hand over: We walk the finished roof with you and pass along the paperwork for your records.
