Where Carrollton sits

Carrollton is the Carroll County seat. The Chattahoochee River runs south of town and John Tanner State Park lies just west of it, according to the New Georgia Encyclopedia. The business address is 907 S Park St, in ZIP 30117; City Hall is at 315 Bradley Street.

Villa Rica and Whitesburg have their own pages: Villa Rica town page and Whitesburg town page. All three towns reach the same phone line.

What the town office says

The city's Licenses and Permits page lists building, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, gas and pool permits, and says permits are picked up in person by the state card holder. The Building and Codes Enforcement page says that department issues building, electrical, plumbing and heating/air permits and posts office hours of 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. and 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. City Hall, at 315 Bradley Street, lists 770-830-2000.

Neither page says which water damage repairs need a permit, so the question goes to the office before work begins.
