The city office

Snellville's building permits page asks anyone planning to repair, alter or replace an electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system to apply to the Building Department first. Its table, which it calls a partial list, answers yes for water heater replacement, fire damage repair, appliance replacement that involves wiring or piping, and interior remodels with framing, drywall or lighting. Painting, tiling, flooring, trim and plug-in appliance swaps get a no. Questions go to Planning and Development at 770-985-3513 or 3514, and City Hall is at 2342 Oak Road. Nothing on the page covers water damage work as such, so ask about the specific repair.
