Augusta Inspection and Permit Board Guide

Augusta residential projects with more than two inspections must post a permit board and keep the permit card available before inspections can be performed.

Permit takeaway

Augusta requires permits for many residential and trade projects, and permit holders are responsible for complying with applicable laws, codes, rules, and regulations.

Zoning and placement

Permit issuance may depend on zoning, plot-plan, and contractor-licensing requirements before inspection scheduling becomes relevant.

Building and trade review

For residential construction with more than two inspections, Augusta requires a permit board in the front yard with the permit card and inspection documents available.

Call before applying when

Call before scheduling if the permit board is not posted, the permit card is not onsite, trades are incomplete, or the project has not requested inspections with enough notice.
