About each permit
Special Land Use Permit (SLUP) - Childcare / Personal Care Home
A Personal Care Home (including a Community Living Arrangement) or a Child Care Institution serving 4-6 persons with no new construction needs a Special Land Use Permit ('SLUP PCH-CCI 4-6') from the Zoning Division, in unincorporated DeKalb County, before a business license issues — a zoning-level requirement separate from, and in addition to, the state DECAL childcare license. The county's own Business Registration Application Check List independently corroborates this from a second document: its 'Day Cares, Personal Care Homes' row marks a Special Administrative Permit (SAP) as required, the same zoning-level control point. The $400 flat fee is published in the 'Planning Fee Schedule' section of the county's 2026 Permit Fee Schedule (last updated 6/8/2026); neither SLUP checklist document itself states a dollar figure, and no separate, higher fee specific to the childcare/PCH-CCI subtype is published.
