Good to know
County or city? James confirms the office.
Most cities inside these counties — Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Marietta, Lawrenceville, McDonough and dozens more — issue their own residential permits; the county office covers unincorporated addresses. A ZIP code doesn't settle it, so we don't guess: James checks jurisdiction for every order before he files.
