Do I need a permit for hvac replacement or installation in City of Cedartown?

Permit likely required

Most likely yes. Hvac replacement or installation usually requires a permit in Georgia. Confirm the specifics with City of Cedartown.

Replacing a furnace, air handler, or condenser generally requires a mechanical permit in Georgia jurisdictions even when it is a like-for-like swap. Gas or electrical connections may require coordinated inspections; use a licensed mechanical contractor where required. Polk County's own permitting office is the Polk County Building Inspection office, reachable on 770-749-2104 at https://www.polkga.org/departments/building_inspection/index.php. It issues permits for the unincorporated county. If your city does not run its own building department, and many smaller Georgia municipalities do not, this is the office that will handle the job. A change-out is normally a mechanical permit, and gas fired equipment usually adds a second permit and a pressure test. Cedartown adopts the International Mechanical Code and International Fuel Gas Code, enforced by its building inspector under Code Sec. 18-36 and 18-37. The city publishes no separate HVAC permit form online. Cedartown handles permits through Building Inspector Joseph Martin at City Hall, 201 East Avenue, 770-748-3220 extension 3040. Anyone needing a permit contacts him first, and a meeting is scheduled to review the request before the permit is authorized.
