Newnan mixes historic and new: 22% of homes with a known build year were built before 1980, and 46% since 2000. If you're in the College-Temple, Greenville-LaGrange or Chalk Level historic districts, ask about historic review before choosing materials.
Hail has been light here lately: six days of inch-plus hail in two years, none reaching more than about 3% of homes. Wind is the bigger story. On Mar 31, 2025, gusts of 58 mph or more reached about 62% of homes, and the National Weather Service documented the March 2021 EF4 tornado that hit Newnan.
Newnan's Building Department has a dedicated roofing permit application. Confirm the property is inside the city before choosing a permit route, and handle any historic or association approval separately.
