Hot tubs in Hinds County require an electrical permit for 240V circuits. Locking safety covers meeting ASTM F1346 satisfy barrier requirements per 2018 IRC Appendix G.
Hinds County adopts the 2018 IRC and NEC. Hot tubs and portable spas do not require a building permit for the unit itself if factory-built, but a 240V electrical circuit requires an electrical permit and licensed electrician per NEC Article 680 with GFCI protection. Barrier requirements under IRC Appendix G apply unless the spa has a locking safety cover meeting ASTM F1346 — in which case no separate barrier is needed. Setbacks from property lines follow accessory structure rules (typically 5 feet side, 10 feet rear). Drainage must comply with county stormwater rules and cannot discharge to storm drains. Deck-mounted installations may require structural review — a filled hot tub weighs 3,000 to 5,000+ lbs. Jackson's high water table and clay soil require careful placement. HOA restrictions may apply in many Hinds County subdivisions.
Unpermitted electrical: fine plus required inspection. Missing safety cover (no barrier): immediate correction. Drainage violations: remediation required.
