• Permit Requirements ▲

  A building permit is required for most new residential and commercial construction to erect, alter, repair, move or demolish a building or structure. A permit is also required to install or alter electrical, gas, mechanical, or plumbing equipment.

  If you need help in determining if a permit is required for your project, contact the City of Port Wentworth Development Services Department at 912-999-2084 prior to beginning any construction. 

  All new construction, major redevelopment / renovation and expansion of existing structures must be approved for a Land Development permit in conjunction with the building permit.
