Purchase Georgia Codes
Codes are adopted at the state level through the GA Department of Community Affairs Building Codes Division and the GA State Codes Advisory Committee (GSCAC). Although adopted at the state level, the choice of enforcement is left up to local authority having jurisdiction. If local jurisdictions adopt codes, they must be the same codes as adopted by the state.
The IBC, IRC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, and ISPSC were adopted, with Georgia Amendments.
The Georgia Amendments, which include the Disaster Resilient Building Code Appendices, are available at the below web link:
