Program details

How it works

The Citizens Drainage Program provides free drainage materials after a county inspection and approval. The county states that materials are delivered upon approval and that installation is the property owner’s responsibility.

What the program covers

The county says it can provide drainage pipes and/or granite rock, with a stated value of up to $2,500. The page also describes the materials as approximately 40–50 tons of granite rock, depending on the need.

How to apply

Homeowners call 404-297-3840 to request an inspection. An inspector evaluates the drainage needs, materials are delivered if approved, and the property owner installs and maintains them.

Timing and limitations

The county’s service page does not give a formal deadline. It also does not say the program is available countywide or only in unincorporated areas, but it does say it is for property owners with drainage issues on private property.
