How to Apply for Site Development Permits

There are two options for submitting for a site development permit in the City of Savannah.

  1. Traditional Paper Submittal
  2. Electronic PDF Submittal (files now being accepted via FTP)

Note:

For projects with one acre or more of disturbed area, a Georgia Coastal Soil and Water Conservation Commission (GSWCC) approval (formerly called NRCS approval) of the soil erosion and sedimentation plans must be obtained and a copy of the approval submitted to the City prior to issuance of the site permit. An application must be made to the GSWCC directly. Contact their office at CoastalSWCD@gaswcc.org or 912-459-2070 for more information.
