Need to sell your house fast in Snellville, GA?

A Snellville site question begins with your survey or subdivision plat, not with the nearest fence line. The city says permanent structures such as accessory buildings, pools, decks, and patios may not be placed within a drainage easement. It also says fences may not be located in a sanitary sewer easement. Its FAQ identifies a permit requirement for a wall or retaining wall four feet or higher and for a finished basement or enclosed garage. Compare the recorded lot information with what is physically present. Measure and photograph the feature, but do not treat a survey line, permit gap, or nearby drain as proof of a violation. Ask Planning & Development to interpret the address before you move or remove anything.

The permit's final status matters too. Snellville's inspection instructions say results are recorded on the permit card and that a certificate of occupancy follows a successful building final and other requirements. Keep the permit card, site plan, latest inspection, and contractor invoice. If the final is missing, ask what the city can verify and what access it needs. Price a listing only after you know whether the issue calls for a survey update, relocation, or no corrective work. An as-is offer should say how long the buyer may evaluate the feature, whether correction is required before closing, what comes from your proceeds, and when possession changes. Take your plat and permit number to Snellville Planning & Development before paying to relocate a fence, shed, or deck.
