Habersham considers abolishing building inspections

CLARKESVILLE - The Habersham County Commission is considering abolishing inspections by the county building and planning department - a move opposed by the county home builders association. <br> <br> The Board of Directors of the Home Builders Association of Habersham/White County has voted unanimously to oppose the move. <br> <br> The board says it is afraid abolishment of the inspections could lead to substandard construction. <br> <br> The home builders group also says removing the inspections would mandate EPD oversight and inspection - greatly increasing the time it takes to get permits approved in Habersham County.
