Permit authority

City of Yatesville

Street address
17 Empire Street, Yatesville, GA 31097-3600
Coverage
Yatesville is a verified incorporated municipality in Upson County. However, I did not find a public Yatesville building-permit webpage, permit packet, fee schedule, or portal. The 2020 Upson County Service Delivery Strategy lists agreements involving Upson County, Thomaston, and Yatesville for 'Code Enforcement/Building Inspection and Zoning,' but the public record reviewed does not clearly identify a standalone Yatesville permit office or a complete published permit workflow.
