The weather record

64.8nights at or below 32 °F

Villa Rica's own pages carry no weather record, so these numbers are Carrollton's: 53.48 inches of rain a year and 64.8 nights at or below 32 °F. Wikipedia lists about 53 inches of yearly rain for Villa Rica and calls March the wettest month, which lines up with Carrollton's normals.

Where Villa Rica sits

Villa Rica covers about 14.8 square miles at an elevation of 1,138 feet, according to Wikipedia. The city sits on a ridgeline that divides the Chattahoochee and Tallapoosa river basins. The business address is 907 S Park St in Carrollton.

Carrollton and Whitesburg have their own pages: Carrollton town page and Whitesburg town page. All three towns reach the same phone line.

What the town office says

Villa Rica's Building Development Department, at 206 North Avenue, enforces the State Minimum Standard Construction Code. Its page says permits are required for all new structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical or gas work, and that repairs, additions and remodeling usually need them too. Listed contacts are Tracy Jarvis, the director, at 678-840-1280, and Renee Kilgore at 678-840-1283.

The page also notes possible exceptions, which makes the department the office to ask before work begins.
