Building Permits

The Building Division is responsible for the issuance of permits based on the building code's current requirements adopted by the City of Tifton. The division reviews all construction plans for compliance with the building codes and any City Ordinances that may apply. The Building Department has the duty and responsibility to the citizens of this City to ensure that any new construction, remodel or addition completed at a property complies with all applicable building codes. The division also ensures that all life safety and fire codes are adhered to. The State charges us to see that all rules associated with the Americans with Disabilities Acts are followed to afford all citizens equal access to businesses and housing. The Building Division strives to provide the proper information and efficient process to promptly give the customer the service deserved.
