Dunwoody is now offering life safety and accessibility plan reviews and inspections required for building renovation and new construction, services currently offered by the DeKalb County Fire Marshall’s office. The plan reviews and inspections will be at the same cost DeKalb County currently charges.

The city anticipates completing more than 95 percent of development plan reviews within two weeks.

“Our goal is to provide businesses and property owners with an option for a more streamlined and enhanced permitting process for building renovation and new construction,” Dunwoody Mayor Mike Davis said.
