Civil Stamping in Georgia

Civil Stamping across Georgia

Georgia's NPDES construction stormwater program is administered by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD). Driveway and access permits on state routes go through the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). The state's red clay soils make erosion and sediment control a major plan-review item, and coastal counties add marshland and shoreline permitting.

Engineering practice in Georgia is regulated by the Georgia State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. Individual PEs must be licensed by the board, and firms providing engineering services must hold a certificate of authorization. Only a Georgia-licensed PE may seal drawings submitted for permit.

Georgia enforces the Georgia State Energy Code for commercial buildings, which is based on the International Energy Conservation Code and ASCE/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1. It is adopted statewide and enforced by local building departments.

Building permits and plan review are handled by city and county building departments under the statewide Georgia State Minimum Standard Codes. Metro Atlanta jurisdictions run electronic review with published checklists; coastal and smaller jurisdictions may have additional local amendments for wind, flood, and marshland protection.
