Permits and codes in Georgia

Georgia adopts statewide minimum codes but leaves enforcement to counties, and enforcement varies widely between metro Atlanta and rural south Georgia. A residential general contractor license is required for home construction, so ask for the license number and check it against the Secretary of State database. Septic approval through the county health department is usually the long pole on rural land.

Financing a barndominium in Georgia

Regional banks and Farm Credit associations (AgSouth, AgGeorgia) both write construction-to-permanent loans on barndominiums. Appraisals lean on comparable sales, which exist in most Georgia counties at this point. Expect 15 to 20 percent down on construction loans.
