Do you need a permit for soffit & fascia replacement in Atlanta, GA?

It depends

It depends on scope. Like-for-like cosmetic work in Atlanta is often exempt, but a permit is required as soon as you change structure, plumbing, electrical or the building envelope.

Much of metro Atlanta sits outside the city limits, so the correct permit office is frequently a county or a smaller incorporated city.
