Remote Inspections For Residential Properties
Doraville is happy to announce that we are implementing remote inspections for certain kinds of permitted work. These kinds of programs are growing in popularity, and currently utilized by hundreds of jurisdictions around the country.
- Remote inspections are only permitted on residential properties.
- All remote inspections will be conducted with the contractor or technician performing the installation.
- If an issue is found during the inspection, the contractor or technician may make the necessary corrections immediately.
- This eliminates the need for numerous visits by inspectors, greatly shortening the timeline for homeowners, contractors, and City staff.
Review Process
All projects require plan review by the City. Depending on the elements of your project, it may also require review by Dekalb County or other government agencies. If your project requires review by Dekalb County or other agencies, the City will provide you a routing sheet. Once your project has been approved by any other required agencies, you will upload the approval sheets to your permit.
Fees
Once plans have been reviewed and approved, fees will be assessed. You may pay your fees online or in person. Payments over the phone will not be accepted.
To estimate your fees, you can review the approved Fee Schedule.
