Permits, power and roofs in Cobb County
Cobb County's community development agency permits the big unincorporated areas: East Cobb, Vinings, Fair Oaks and the Cumberland district around Truist Park. Marietta, Smyrna, Kennesaw, Acworth and Powder Springs run their own departments, and Mableton, a city only since 2023, is new enough that it is worth confirming where an address files. East Cobb is the county's biggest block of 1970s and 1980s two-story houses, many in swim-and-tennis subdivisions with architectural committees. Roofs there are commonly on their third set of shingles, and the decking has not always been replaced along the way. Lake Allatoona's shoreline near Acworth adds lake houses on steep lots under tall pines. Hail is the main roof hazard countywide.
In East Cobb, around Indian Hills and the subdivisions off Johnson Ferry Road, the usual picture is a 1980s house on its third roof with an array its association wants back in the original layout. Near Lake Allatoona, steep lots and narrow drives make staging the hardest part. In Austell and the south end, an inherited system with no installer left to warranty it is the familiar case.

FAQ
Cobb County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Cobb County?
Often, yes, when it is planned. Art of Solar is a Florida solar company, so Georgia work is booked ahead and grouped with other jobs in Metro Atlanta, and it only goes ahead with the Georgia license the work needs. Send the address, the panel count and the roofer's tear-off date for a straight answer.
Who is allowed to work on solar panels in Georgia?
Georgia treats the wiring side of solar as electrical contracting, so taking an array off, fixing it or putting it back belongs with a contractor licensed by the Division of Electrical Contractors of the State Construction Industry Licensing Board. There is no separate solar license, and cities and counties can add their own permit and business license rules.
Who reconnects the system in Cobb County?
Homes in Cobb County are generally served by Georgia Power and Cobb EMC, with city power in Marietta and Acworth and GreyStone Power in parts. When an array goes back on after a roof job the utility usually needs to know, and the building department normally inspects the reinstall before the system is switched back on.
My installer went out of business. Can the system still be fixed?
Usually. The installer's own workmanship warranty is gone, but the panels, inverter and optimizers carry manufacturer warranties that normally still apply, and a dead system is often one failed part rather than a worn-out array.
