City of Atlanta ATL311 – Residential construction permits (Office of Buildings)

Published city minimum: permit $150 + technology fee $25 = $175. That sum is the official low fee and the official typical fee for an HVAC replacement in Atlanta. The $150 minimum permit fee is included at low and typical. The technology fee is a flat $25 included at low and typical; it is part of the published $175 floor, and the same $25 applies at both listed bands. Those lines come from the City of Atlanta ATL311 residential construction permits knowledge article (Office of Buildings), modified May 20, 2026. This row names the source as City of Atlanta ATL311, Residential construction permits (Office of Buildings), at https://www.atl311.com/en-us/knowledgearticle/?code=KB0012509, retrieved 2026-08-13. Low and typical are the same dollar amount because only that published city minimum ($150 + $25 tech = $175) is cited for both bands. The caveat says only the published city minimum is cited for low and typical, so the official bands match. No high fee is shown because no official high above the published city minimum was extracted from ATL311. The caveat states why no high fee is shown: the trade-specific schedule and the full Code of Ordinances Part 19 valuation table are not published in the fee schedule. No assumed project valuation is listed on this row. No project value is listed, so the $175 is a published floor, not a formula output from an assumed valuation. The official requirement, mechanical permit required per ATL311, comes from the Department of City Planning, Office of Buildings. Alternate path not used in listed totals: valuation-based or trade-specific fees above the published minimum may apply under Code of Ordinances Part 19, but that schedule is not published in the fee schedule, so amounts above $175 are not listed. The extra named Valuation-based / trade-specific fee above the published minimum (Code of Ordinances Part 19) has no published amount and is not included in the totals. Before filing, check ATL311, the city fee schedule, and Office of Buildings mechanical fees via ATL311, and confirm the amount that applies to your job.
