City of Alamo

The city states the Code Enforcement Officer inspects all buildings, structures, and work for which a permit has been issued and applies Georgia State Building Code guidelines to location, design, materials, equipment, construction, alteration, repair, moving, demolition, removal, and occupancy of buildings and structures, including manufactured homes and buildings.

Note: No public exempt-work list was found on the reviewed Alamo pages.
