Five Divisions, One Department. . . • • • • •
Planning & Zoning Building Inspections Business License Real Property Code Enforcement
The second half of 2021 saw a dramatic resurgence in activity within the city’s Community Development Department. The increase in activity across all five divisions; Planning & Zoning, Building Inspections, Business License, Real Property, and Code Enforcement, has given the department every indication to believe that 2022 and beyond will be several years of increasing economic activity and opportunity for the residents of the City of Roswell.
Development Services Center. . . As a response to the increased activity in the city, and to address concerns by the building & development community, the Community Development Department is currently working toward the opening of the new Development Services Center in early 2022. This new facility will be a “one-stop” processing and permitting center with the goal of efficient customer service.

To further increase the department’s ability to serve our customers, the entire division will be undergoing a series of permit streamlining measures that will include new checklists, design standards, as well as permitting procedures.
These updates will further improve customer service.
