Haralson County's own permitting office is the Haralson County Zoning and Permits office, reachable on 770-646-2033 at https://www.haralsoncountyga.gov/planning-and-zoning.cfm. Its online permit portal is https://permitting.schneidergis.com/jurisdiction/36ac59a0-cdcf-4e4c-ae89-682540d7a14a. It issues permits for the unincorporated county.

A change-out is normally a mechanical permit, and gas fired equipment usually adds a second permit and a pressure test.
