Builders will be able request inspections, track the status of inspection and view permit fees and approved permits online.

Along with the online initiative, the system’s mobile application enables the city’s building and land development inspectors to manage inspections in real-time while in the field, which will reduce travel costs and paperwork.

“This new program will streamline the permit workflow process and make it easier to do business in Sandy Springs,” said Chris McCrary, manager of Building and Land Development. “Contractors and developers will be able to manage multiple permits and view status history in one convenient online location.”

The new system also provides the general public the opportunity to check the status of permits, research building permit history and view status of open code enforcement cases.

Citizens can query projects by permit type, date, address, permit number or project name. The new system replaces the former Permit GO! online tool.

Contractors can link to the online permitting site online at https://build.sandyspringsga.gov.
