Hot tubs and spas in Grove City require an electrical permit and must have a lockable safety cover meeting ASTM F1346 or be enclosed by a 48-inch barrier. Safety cover exempts from full barrier rule.
Under Ohio Residential Code Appendix G, spas and hot tubs equipped with an approved lockable safety cover are exempt from the 48-inch fencing requirement. Electrical connections must be permitted and inspected under NEC Article 680, typically requiring a dedicated 240V GFCI-protected circuit. Placement must respect 10-foot setbacks from property lines and maintain clearances from overhead power lines (minimum 10 feet horizontal, 22.5 feet vertical). Building permits may be required for decks or gazebos around the tub.
