Porta Potty Rental in Kennesaw, GA 30144

A unit on your own Kennesaw property needs no city permit. Three other things matter, and the first one is a flat prohibition.

Kennesaw bars temporary bathroom facilities at a certified flea market, by name. The city's flea market rules require all plumbing to meet minimum code, then set a public facility count by occupant load. For an enclosed flea market that load is worked out as for mercantile occupancy; for an open air one it is two people per table, counter, or booth of no more than twenty square feet. Once the load is identified, toilet facilities are provided as for a commercial building of multiple tenants, and the rule then says plainly that no temporary bathroom facilities shall be permitted. Adopted February 2026. So at that one Kennesaw venue type the city calculates a toilet count and then rules out the usual way of meeting it. A flea market operator here needs plumbed facilities. Nobody should be sold portable units for that use.

Events on public property carry a 90 day clock. An application for an event needing the use of public property goes to the parks department at least 90 days ahead with an application fee. It must carry the event details, the applicant's name and address, a site map, desired street closures and a traffic plan, proof of insurance 30 days in advance, a fee acknowledgement, expected attendance, and a cleanup and recycling plan. Event support fees are paid at least 30 days in advance, and events for Cobb County public schools are exempt from event fees.

The cleanup plan names containers, and the deposit is tiered. The organizer plans collection and disposal of trash and recycling and cleanup after the event, naming the recycling containers and dumpsters and the volunteers or staff assigned. A refundable cleanup deposit is due 30 days before any event on public property, set by participant count with steps at 100, 500, and 1,000 participants. Confirm the current figures with the parks department.

Private property. Keep the unit on your own ground, off the shoulder, clear of drainage. Georgia lays the service duty on the Kennesaw property owner, employer, or event sponsor: a certified portable sanitation company at least once every seven days, and more often if use demands.

Cobb County puts portable sanitation in its own code, and Kennesaw sits inside that. The county's health and sanitation chapter adopts a list of county board of health rules as county ordinances, and that list expressly includes rules and regulations for portable sanitation contractors. Enforcement runs through the county: a written notice of violation from an environmental health specialist naming the location, the violation, the remedy and a timeframe, then reinspection, then a citation to the magistrate court with a misdemeanor on conviction. Where the district health director finds imminent harm, a citation can issue with no notice letter.

One wrinkle in that adoption. An amendment to those regulations is not effective for enforcement as a county ordinance until the commissioners adopt it and it is placed on file with the clerk, so the enforceable version in Kennesaw is the filed copy.

We supply the contract. Georgia requires a construction site owner and an event sponsor alike to show proof of a service contract with a certified portable sanitation company, and that comes with your order.
