Locations
Confirm jurisdiction before relying on a requirement.
Municipal boundaries, mailing addresses, and service areas are not interchangeable. Use the project address to identify the responsible permit and inspection office.
Choose the project location
Huntsville
Projects inside Huntsville city limits may involve the City Inspection Department, zoning review, and trade permits. Confirm the authority and permit path for the exact address before work begins.
Madison
A Madison mailing address does not by itself identify the permitting authority. Confirm whether the property is inside Madison, Huntsville, or unincorporated county jurisdiction before relying on a permit assumption.
Athens
Athens-area projects can combine older construction, additions, crawl spaces, septic systems, detached buildings, and newer subdivisions. Record site and utility conditions before comparing scopes.
Decatur
Decatur projects may involve older framing, prior additions, slab or crawl-space construction, and occupied-home phasing. Document existing conditions and confirm the responsible permit office.
