The Environmental Compliance section of the Land Development office enforces the laws that protect the public and preserve the beauty of the Appalachian Mountains that surround us. We enforce the laws to preserve the water that is important to the survival of the citizens of Fannin County and our nation. We offer assistance with environmental concerns such as illegal dumping, litter, old tires, chemical spills, soil erosion, solid waste, air/water pollution and many other problems. Our office issues land disturbing permits, septic permits (through the Health Dept.), driveway permits and building permits. Please review the appropriate ordinances posted on this web site.
