Six places around Savannah, six different problems
Each page covers the housing, the water and the permit office for that town.
- SavannahThe oldest housing in Chatham County and its most active permit rules are both inside the city limits.
- PoolerA railroad town that turned into one of Georgia's fastest growing cities, with the foundation questions that come with new subdivisions.
- Richmond HillA different county, a different permit office and a river that overflows in big storms.
- Tybee IslandAn island 18 miles east of Savannah where every house sits in a special flood hazard area.
- Wilmington IslandA suburb with no city government, so your permits go to Chatham County.
- Isle of HopeAntebellum houses, Craftsman bungalows and a marsh edge that floods twice a day.
