A Zoning Certification is a letter confirming the existing zoning for a property, usually for legal purposes, and will state the current zoning classification and a list of prior zoning cases.  To obtain a Zoning Certification Letter, please submit an online application on the Zoning Certification Application Webpage.

  • A legal description of the subject property and the parcel ID number(s)
  • Current boundary survey sealed by a professional engineer or architect if available
  • $30 check made payable to the City of Sandy Springs (we also accept cards online with a 5% service charge)

Request Letters may include multiple addresses but must provide a separate description, boundary survey, and payment for each additional address. Please allow up to 10 business days to process your application.
