Otto falls under Macon County. Macon County permits are issued through the county Building Inspections department in Franklin, with the Town of Highlands handling work inside town limits separately. Roof replacements generally require a permit, and plateau projects in club and gated communities usually add a community design review step. We pull the permit and schedule inspections on every project.
