What to check in Georgia
Georgia's state minimum codes apply to all construction, but each city and county decides whether to run a permit and inspection program. Where one exists, it must enforce the current DCA editions and local amendments.
Mandatory state minimum codes, optional local enforcement. An address inside an incorporated city or another local jurisdiction may be served by a separate building department.
