Building permits are required by City of Milton to help verify structures are built to standards that ensure the public’s safety and protection of their equity by reducing the potential hazards of unsafe construction and ensuring health, safety, and welfare of citizens, families, and business owners. Currently the following codes (with Georgia Amendments) have been mandated by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs as the minimum construction standards state-wide.

The City of Milton enforces these mandated codes (along with some permissive codes), within the City limits:

2018 IBC Building Code

2018 International Fuel Gas Code

2018 IMC Mechanical Code

2018 International Plumbing Code

2020 NEC National Electrical Code

2018 International Fire Code

2015 IECC Energy Conservation Code

2018 International Residential Code

2010 ADA; GA. Accessibility Code 120-3-20

2018-101 Life Safety Code

2018 International Swimming and Spa Code

 


These code edition references and State Amendments are available at: https://www.dca.ga.gov/local-government-assistance/construction-codes-industrialized-buildings/construction-codes

The City maintains copies of the enforced code editions at City Hall.
