City of Perry, Georgia: Plans and Ordinances

The Joint Comprehensive Plan, the Perry Land Development Ordinance, and City Code are the two major documents governing the City of Perry.

The Comprehensive Plan

The Code requires that every governing body adopt a comprehensive plan and that it be reviewed at least once every five years. The City's current comprehensive plan was adopted in 1996 and is available in its entirety in the Community Development Department, located in City Hall at 1211 Washington Street.
