What shapes a project in Roswell
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Mid-century housing
Census estimates put Roswell's median year built at 1968. About 54 percent of homes were built before 1970, and about 25 percent were built in the 1950s alone. About 75 percent of units are single-family detached homes.
What needs a permit
Roswell requires permits for home renovations and additions, re-roofing, sheds and carports, decks and porches, pools and plumbing projects, and its Building Inspections Division also issues electrical and mechanical permits. Painting a home's exterior and simple landscaping do not need a permit.
Soil reports for new construction
The city's residential plan checklist calls for soil investigation reports and density or compaction tests on any site, including backfill, before a foundation is poured. The energy code places Roswell in climate zone 3B.
