What a Site Survey Means for a Johns Creek Addition
Johns Creek's zoning ordinance sets minimum setback distances that vary by zoning district, plus a required 10-foot improvement setback inside any zoning buffer, where no construction, grading, or tree removal is allowed without approval. Before a design goes very far, confirming exactly where those lines fall relative to the house and lot helps avoid planning an addition, pool, or retaining wall that does not actually fit.
The city requires a site survey showing the proposed structure and its distance from property lines as part of the site plan submitted with a building permit application for new structures, additions, pools, and retaining walls. Ordering that survey early, while a layout can still be adjusted, is more useful than finding a setback or buffer conflict after the design is finished.

Cost & Timeline
What Should You Budget and How Long Could It Take?
Before you request an estimate, it helps to know roughly what a project like yours can involve. These planning ranges are a starting point for early budgeting, not a price for your home.
In Johns Creek, exterior projects can also depend on setback lines, zoning buffers, and land disturbance rules that affect what can be built where.
Planning Ranges at a Glance
| Project | Planning Cost | Typical Construction Time |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodeling | $28,000 to $158,000 | 4 to 12+ weeks |
| Bathroom Remodeling | $25,000 to $80,000 | 3 to 8 weeks |
| Basement Remodeling | $30,000 to $75,000 | 4 to 12 weeks |
| Whole-Home Remodeling | $100 to $400 per sq ft | 3 to 12 months |
| Home Additions | $58,000 to $330,000+ | 3 to 6+ months |
| Outdoor Kitchen Construction | $10,000 to $50,000 | 4 to 8 weeks |
Ranges are based on 2025 Cost vs. Value Report figures for the Atlanta market where available, plus published national and Atlanta-area cost and timeline guides. Construction time covers the build itself, not design, selections, or permitting.
What Can Affect the Cost?
Price can change significantly depending on the size of the space, existing conditions, layout changes, structural work, plumbing and electrical changes, cabinetry, fixtures, finishes, material selections, and the overall level of customization.
What Can Affect the Timeline?
Construction time can be affected by the size and complexity of the project, material lead times, structural changes, inspections, required permits, trade scheduling, existing conditions discovered during construction, and changes made after work begins. A land disturbance permit is generally required once a project disturbs 1,000 square feet of ground or more, so larger exterior projects may have an extra review step.
These are general planning ranges, not estimates, quotes, or guarantees. A project-specific price and schedule can only be developed after the scope, existing conditions, material selections, and other project details are better understood.

What People Ask About Remodeling in Johns Creek
How do I know whether my property is inside Johns Creek city limits?
Johns Creek is a fully incorporated city in Fulton County, but a property near the boundary can still sit in unincorporated Fulton County or a neighboring city. The City's GIS and Maps portal shows zoning, parcels, and city limits for a specific address.
Do I need a permit for a remodeling project in Johns Creek?
It depends on the scope of work. Johns Creek requires a permit for most construction, additions, alterations, and electrical, plumbing, gas, or mechanical work, applied for through the online Customer Self-Service Portal. Confirm requirements before work starts.
Where can I check the zoning for a Johns Creek property, and what if I need a variance?
Planning and Zoning maintains the current zoning map and reviews variance requests. The Board of Zoning Appeals meets monthly, and variance applications have a filing deadline on the first Tuesday of the month, so timing matters if a project needs one.
When does a project need a land disturbance permit, and could floodplain or tree rules apply?
A land disturbance permit is generally required once a project disturbs 1,000 square feet of ground or more, and can be required below that if erosion control is needed. Work in a floodplain or affecting protected trees adds its own review, so it is worth checking Land Development before finalizing plans for an addition or major exterior project.
Do I need a site survey before adding onto my Johns Creek home?
Generally yes. A site survey showing the proposed structure's distance from property lines is part of the site plan required for new structures, additions, pools, and retaining walls. It also helps confirm the project fits within the setback and zoning-buffer requirements for the property before a design is finalized.
Why did I start getting a separate stormwater bill from the city?
Johns Creek established its own Stormwater Utility in 2021 and later took over stormwater billing that Fulton County previously handled. This funds the city's stormwater pipes and drainage system separately from water and sewer service.
Does the city or the county handle water and sewer service in Johns Creek?
Fulton County Water Resources handles water and sewer service for Johns Creek. Stormwater is the exception, which the city now bills and manages directly.
Where can I look up property records for a Johns Creek home?
Johns Creek is in Fulton County, so parcel information, ownership, and property details come from Fulton County's property records system, though the city's GIS team corrects parcel boundaries locally.
Where can I find my property's assessed value?
Property valuations are handled by the Fulton County Board of Assessors, a separate office from the one that bills and collects taxes. Their appeal window runs 45 days from the assessment notice.
Where can I find my property-tax bill?
Property tax bills and payment come from the Fulton County Tax Commissioner, a different office from the Board of Assessors that sets the valuation.
