All Civil or Building Permit applications must be submitted with 3 hard copies of the plans, and all other required documents (see required documents below). A Land Disturbance Permit (LDP) application is needed for all Civils. These documents cannot be emailed. Permit applications and plans can be submitted to Lovejoy City Hall (2296 Talmadge Road) 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Monday - Friday, or at our Community Development Department (11714 Hastings Bridge Road, Suite D) 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM Monday- Friday via mail or in-person.
Our review process takes approximately fifteen business days. However, all plans must also be submitted to the Clayton Fire Marshal's Office (see their submittal procedure) as well as Clayton County Water Authority (https://www.ccwa.us/developer-information/). We must have approval from both before we can issue your City of Lovejoy permit.
If your property is over 1 acre, you are also required to get your Civil Plans approved by GSWCC (https://gaswcc.georgia.gov/). We must have their approval as well before permitting. Their address is
Georgia Soil & Water Conservation Commission (706-552-4470)
4310 Lexington Rd Athens, GA 30605
All other permit applications can be emailed to cityhall@cityoflovejoy.com , or submitted at Lovejoy City Hall. For questions regarding permits, inspections or zoning, please email permits@cityoflovejoy.com or call the Lovejoy City Hall (770) 471-2304
