Zoning Contacts in Dekalb County
last updated March 8, 2003
This is a list of contacts and resources related to zoning
in Dekalb County.
The County Commissioners make the final decision on all zoning requests.
There are five local commissioners and two super district commissioners. The
super districts are at-large seats, each representing half the county. Each
voter in Dekalb is represented by two commissioners, a local commissioner
and a super district commissioner.
The districts you are in are listed on your voter registration card. You can
also call the Voter Registration office at 404-298-4020 to find out which
district you are in.
