Georgia adopts the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code statewide, requiring four-foot barriers around residential pools and spas with self-closing gates.
Under O.C.G.A. 8-2-20 et seq., the Georgia Department of Community Affairs adopts mandatory state minimum standard codes including the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC). The ISPSC requires a barrier at least 48 inches high around residential swimming pools, self-closing and self-latching gates, and barriers that prevent climbing. These standards apply statewide; local jurisdictions may adopt stricter rules but cannot relax the state minimums. Permits for pool construction are required from local building departments.
Building without a permit or failing inspection can result in stop-work orders, daily fines, and required corrections before pool use is permitted.
