Remodeling: Cobb county residentual permits and inspections

I purchased a home with an unfinished basement. It has framing/installation/some electrical and roughed in plumbing. So I spoke with an Licensed electrician about wiring it out to code ...»
and him pulling a permit. He advised me if he pulled the permit it would have to be for the full job not just electric so it would be better if I pulled an home owners inspection permit because I'm doing the basement in stages. I called and requested this and I was told it was 71.50 a sq ft and 4.50 per something else. Well I have 1200 Sqt so just adding that together that tells me that can't be right as that is about 85,000 bucks. I question why it would be so much to to finish my basement and was told thats the system and they hung up on me. I called back and got someone else and rephased the question still to get told they needed to know the full amount I was going to spend to finish the basement.

Anyone have any insight on this?

    The permit fee is based as a percentage of the actual or estimated costs. All work that was previously done should be documented (framing, HVAC, plumbing) and estimates for future work to determine costs otherwise the county will use the 71.50 default amount. You typically will have one year to complete the work.

  • We currently use LED battery operated lights in our planters right outside our front door. During the day you can barely notice them and at night they add a lovely glow that can't be missed. A steal at Christmaslightsetc.com for $8.99
  • Nothing is more relaxing than lounging in the backyard on cool summer evenings with a glass of wine and a romantic glow!
  • Lining gazebos and free standing structures is easy. Any size light will do although I recommend C7 or C9 bulbs - bigger is brighter! Great for parties, dinners, and simple down time.
  • Rope light makes great borders for gardens and flower beds.
