Town of Rest Haven, GA Building Permit Guide

Permit Authority

Rest Haven is an incorporated town that lies primarily in Gwinnett County and partly in Hall County. Public reporting indicates Buford has handled most of Rest Haven's zoning, code enforcement, and court functions. Because the town does not maintain a public permit portal or clear permit website, applicants should verify current permitting jurisdiction directly with the town clerk and City of Buford before filing.

Application Process

1. First confirm whether the property is still inside the Town of Rest Haven because the town has deannexed territory over time.
2. Contact the current town clerk or official Rest Haven contact to verify whether the town is still handling the permit or whether Buford is administering zoning/building functions for the parcel.
3. If directed to Buford or the relevant county, follow that authority's application process.
4. Do not assume unincorporated Gwinnett rules apply unless the parcel has actually been deannexed from Rest Haven.
