Food Service Plan Review — Cobb County
Cobb restaurants must have facility plans reviewed and approved by Cobb & Douglas Public Health before construction is complete and before the pre-opening inspection.
What Is Food Service Plan Review?
Cobb & Douglas Public Health — Environmental Health reviews facility plans against the 2025 Georgia Food Code before issuing a permit — for new establishments, modifications/remodels, and changes of ownership. For a modification or remodel of an existing establishment, the application must be submitted at least 14 business days before work begins.
Food Businesses Inside the City of Marietta
Marietta directs food, pool, hotel/motel, and body-art projects to obtain Cobb & Douglas approved/stamped plans first, before applying for city permits and the Certificate of Occupancy. Build this dependency into the Marietta opening sequence.
