Zoning & Planning~Facilities~Animal Control~Code Enforcement
The Community Services Department was created in 2009 and was formed from the consolidation of the Butts County Animal Control, Code Enforcement, Inspections, Planning & Zoning and Facilities Management Departments. Community Services provides professional advice on zoning matters to the Planning Commission, Board of Zoning Appeals and the Board of County Commissioners so that their decisions might serve the best interests of the citizens of Butts County. The department has jurisdiction over properties located within unincorporated Butts County as well as providing the functions of zoning for the cities of Jackson and Jenkinsburg.
