Every Friday our research team:
How we verify each number
- Every Friday we download new ordinances from county‑clerk RSS feeds.
- We scrape state open‑data CSVs for rows containing “FOG” or “grease fee.”
- Quarterly, we call each pretreatment office to confirm figures match restaurant invoices.
- If two sources disagree, we publish the higher amount, flag the cell, and update when the county issues a clarification. All PDFs, call logs, and screen captures live in our public source vault.

Why this tracker helps
Georgia’s 159 counties set their own grease‑trap fees and fines. Atlanta’s permit is two‑hundred‑fifty dollars, Savannah prices by trap volume, and four coastal districts add hurricane‑season surcharges. Tracking every ordinance one by one wastes hours and still misses mid‑year amendments. This page centralizes the latest permit fee, first‑offense fine, and repeat‑offender surcharge for every county—no paywall, no guesswork.
