Atlanta Massage Parlors: Dunwoody to regulate massage businesses
Posted on January 27th, 2011 in Atlanta massage parlors
Dunwoody’s City Council is not trying to limit the number of such businesses. It just wants to put rules into place to avoid problems with massage parlors, said city councilmember Adrian Bonser.
Historically, massage businesses were governed by state law. Now, after a vote by the state legislature last year, local governments can pass ordinances regulating the businesses, Brian Anderson, Dunwoody’s city attorney, said.

Last month, the Doraville City Council passed its massage ordinance, which increases massage parlor license fees to $1,500 and limits the number of the parlors that can exist within its borders to four per 10,000 residents, which is the approximate population of the city.
Applicants in Doraville who have been convicted of any crimes involving violence, sexual misconduct, drugs, dangerous weapons, human trafficking or pornographic materials cannot obtain a massage parlor license, according to the ordinance.
