Palmetto on the Fulton–Coweta line: repairing a home
Palmetto was incorporated as a town in 1854 and had 5,071 residents at the 2020 Census. Most of the city is in Fulton County, but part of it is in Coweta County, and its limits run in an arm that reaches northwest into Chattahoochee Hills. So the first repair question in Palmetto is a practical one: which government has the address.
Palmetto paperwork, in the order you will need it
Settle the jurisdiction
Because Palmetto straddles the Fulton–Coweta line and borders Chattahoochee Hills on an irregular boundary, a Palmetto mailing address does not settle which city or county reviews the work. Check the parcel before you apply, and keep the answer with your claim paperwork.
File the permit at 509 Toombs Street
The City of Palmetto asks that all building permit applications be filed at City Hall, 509 Toombs Street. Plan review is required for most projects costing $5,000 or more, and contractors and trade subcontractors must bring a current business license and state card with the application.
Email for inspections once the permit is posted
With the permit posted on site, inspections are scheduled by email to inspections@citypalmetto.com, giving the address, permit number and inspection type. The city's inspection letter lists the stages it checks, from footings and rough-in through insulation and final.
Houses from the 1970s through the 2000s
For about 2,030 housing units, Census estimates give a median year built of 1990: 26% went up in the 1990s, 19% in the 2000s, and about 31% in the 1970s and 1980s combined. When water came in from outside, pull up the lot on FEMA's flood maps before describing the loss to an insurer.
