Cobb County handles building permits for all unincorporated areas and several smaller municipalities that contract with the county. Larger cities like Marietta, Smyrna, and Kennesaw maintain their own independent building and zoning departments. Development in unincorporated areas is subject to specific watershed protection and soil erosion control overlays managed by the county.
