The State of Georgia classifies occupancy types using “NFPA 101 Life Safety Code.” If you are unsure as to which one your business might be, you can call 706-654-2500 ext. 1, email Shannon Martin, or submit the inspection request form for further assistance.
The West Jackson Fire Department does not inspect residential properties before, during, or after the building process. Refer to the building department (of your respective city/town) for requirements and fees. Home based businesses do not require a fire plan review or inspection.
