Fayetteville regulates hot tubs and spas under the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. An electrical permit covers the 240-volt circuit, and a locking safety cover meeting ASTM F1346 can substitute for a barrier.
Hot tubs and spas in Fayetteville fall under the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code and the 2020 National Electrical Code. Most installations need an electrical permit for the dedicated 240-volt, GFCI-protected circuit, with bonding of the tub and equipment. Under the pool code, a spa fitted with a lockable safety cover complying with ASTM F1346 satisfies the barrier requirement in place of a 48-inch fence. Spas placed on a deck or elevated platform may require a structural check for the added water and occupant weight. Drainage cannot discharge onto neighboring property or into the storm system, and the spa must meet accessory setbacks from property lines.
Wiring a spa without the electrical permit brings fines and required correction. A missing or non-compliant safety cover draws a correction notice. Improper drainage must be remediated.
