Several departments relocate to City Hall/NowGeorgia.com

Several Columbus Consolidated Government departments will be relocating to City Hall beginning January 5, 2026. The move to a new centralized location is to better serve the community and streamline operations. Those relocating include the Engineering Department, Planning Department, Community Reinvestment Department and the Inspections and Code Department.

These departments will no longer operate out of their current location at 420 10th Street, effective at the close of business January 2, 2026. As part of the transition, the public counters for both the Inspections and Code Department and the Engineering Department will be closed on January 5, 2026, and will reopen at 1:00 pm on January 6 at the new City Hall location.

Field inspections and phone communications will continue as normal during the relocation period to ensure uninterrupted service to the public. The Planning Department and Community Reinvestment Department will be unavailable for in person visits until January 12, 2026. Both departments will be available via phone or email during the transition.
