A Certificate of Development Conformance (CDC) must be submitted and accepted prior to approval of a Final Plat or issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.) or Certificate of Completion (C.C.) for any project included in a Development Permit except for single-family and two-family structures.  The CDC serves as certification by the owner that all site work and construction has been completed in accordance with the approved plans and permits, and that all improvements intended for maintenance, supervision and/or dedication to the public are in compliance with the applicable standards, regulations, codes, and ordinances.

Authorization to submit the CDC for each project is granted by Development Inspections staff.  An electronic (PDF only) copy of the CDC must be submitted online through the County plan review portal at https://eddspermits.gwinnettcounty.com/citizenaccess/.   (Click here to download the required CDC forms and instructions.)  The Department of Planning and Development is committed to completing review of the submitted CDC within five (5) business days following the date of receipt.  Customers receive email notification regarding the status of CDC review including instructions for submitting the original signed copy of the approved CDC.
