DeKalb County handles permitting for all unincorporated areas, while incorporated cities like Decatur, Brookhaven, and Dunwoody manage their own independent building and zoning departments. Development in unincorporated areas is subject to specific overlay districts, including the DeKalb County Watershed Management requirements and various neighborhood conservation districts.
DeKalb County enforces a strict Tree Protection Ordinance that requires a tree survey and potential mitigation fees for any land disturbance or construction activity.

La autoridad estatal aquí es GA State Licensing Board. El expediente del condado no la reemplaza — añade la oficina de permisos, las reglas locales y el camino real de presentación.
