Glynn County, GA Building Safety: Building Inspections (2026)

8, Construction Inspection Process, requires periodic inspections during construction for every approved project, with the specific inspections and their timing designated on the building permit itself; infrastructure inspections are handled by the County Engineer's office. 8(b) puts the burden on the contractor: it is the responsibility of the contractor or others in the contractor's employ to request the required construction inspections at the appropriate times, through the Glynn County Building Inspection Division. 8(d) adds that any project which needed site plan approval also gets inspected by the staff planner for compliance with that approved site plan before the Building Official issues a Certificate of Occupancy.

9 lists what a Certificate of Occupancy actually requires: satisfactory completion of all required inspections and correction of any unacceptable work, record drawings of water, sewer and drainage systems to be deeded to the county, copies of deeds for any required easements, and, for projects needing site plan approval, written notification from the design professional who certifies the installation was field-checked against the approved plan. County staff independently inspects for compliance with the approved building permit, site plan and architectural plans, though the Planning and Zoning Director may accept the design professional's compliance letter in place of that staff inspection before directing the Building Official to issue the Certificate of Occupancy.
