About each permit
Building Permit / Land Disturbance Permit
This permit applies only inside unincorporated Cobb County; a project inside any of the county's seven incorporated cities is permitted by that city's own office instead. The $6.00/$1,000 (residential) and $7.00/$1,000 (commercial) valuation multipliers and the flat tiers above are current, effective July 1, 2024, with no newer standalone schedule superseding them. The schedule document's own illustrative heated- and unheated-square-foot dollar figures are not reproduced here, because the schedule's own text states that 'Building permit fees will be updated annually to reflect the current published ICC chart' — meaning the underlying International Code Council valuation table used to translate square footage into a dollar construction cost refreshes every January, and a newer vintage of that table may already be in use in October 2026. A permit applicant should obtain the current ICC valuation directly from Development & Inspections rather than rely on any older illustration of it.
