Building Permit
The City of Port Wentworth Development Services Department performs the permitting and inspections functions of the City. Its mission is to ensure quality construction and compliance with Building and Zoning Codes, as well as confirm that all contractors are properly licensed for the safety and protection of Port Wentworth residents and businesses. This is accomplished through critical plan reviews, quality inspections, efficient processing of permits, and professional interaction with contractors, developers, property owners, businesses, and residents.

  • Permit Requirements
    A building permit is required for most new residential and commercial construction to erect, alter, repair, move or demolish a building or structure. A permit is also required to install or alter electrical, gas, mechanical, or plumbing equipment.


    If you need help in determining if a permit is required for your project, contact the City of Port Wentworth Development Services Department at 912-999-2084 prior to beginning any construction.
