Commercial Building Plans

We only accept plans submitted via the Portal. This would include Building, Land Disturbance, Fire, and Sprinkler Alarms. Please send all projects through the permit portal; if you need assistance, please contact smorgan@dawsoncountyga.gov.  

First Submittal: PDF of stamped plans, Commercial Building Application, and $400.00 minimum plan review fee (the remaining review fee must be paid before comments are released).  https://dawsoncountyga-energovpub.tylerhost.net/Apps/SelfService#/home

Final Submittal:  PDF of Corrected stamped* plans, 2 Hard Copies of Stamped Plans

All projects must be paid in full before work can begin (this includes any re-inspection fees).

Once approved, all contractors involved with the project must register with Dawson County to obtain any inspections (there is no charge for this, only paperwork).

Fire Alarm, Sprinkler, Smoke Control Systems, Special Hazard Systems, and any other plans to be submitted to the Fire Department shall require a Commercial Application, an Electronic PDF of the projects, and a $150.00 fee to be paid.

The Certificate of Occupancy alone DOES NOT permit occupancy of a space or building. Before occupying a space or building, you must obtain approval and a C of O from The Dawson County Fire Marshals Office.
