Georgetown, TX Building Safety: Carbon Monoxide Detectors (2026)

5 for Georgetown. Detection is mandatory in Group I-1, I-2, I-4 and R occupancies, in Group B fire areas with an animal housing or care facility, and in Group E classrooms wherever a fuel-burning appliance, fuel-burning fireplace, or fuel-burning forced-air furnace is present, or where the space is served by one. A furnace exception applies only if detection is placed in the first room served by each main duct leaving the furnace with alarm signals automatically transmitted to an approved location. 4 extends the duty to units in buildings with fuel-burning equipment elsewhere in the structure unless there are no communicating openings, or detection sits in an approved location between the appliance and the protected space.

5 covers units in buildings with attached private garages, with exceptions for units more than one story removed from the garage, garages connected only through an open-ended corridor, or where detection already covers the garage opening. 5, with electronically supervised systems mandatory in Group B animal care fire areas lacking constant animal supervision. These amendments were adopted by Ordinance No. 2023-43, Section 13, Exhibit K.
