Georgia's mandatory state minimum codes come from the 2024 international family plus the 2015 energy code — no wildfire interface book among them. That leaves wildfire construction to the shared baseline, which is what what applies to your house walks through.

The local layer is unopened: 0 sourced nodes, 0 applications, and what we can't tell you yet is the whole of that story.

Planting is where Georgia's file thickens: 641 records documented across USDA half-zones 7a through 9a, 139 flagged invasive or noxious. Living here walks the piedmont-to-coast range.

What applies in Georgia

Georgia does not adopt a statewide WUI construction book. DCA’s mandatory state minimum codes are the 2024 IBC, IRC, IFC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, and ISPSC, the 2023 NEC, and the 2015 IECC. Permissive codes are the IPMC, IEBC, and National Green Building Standard. IWUIC is not on either list. Confirm with the building official.

No exact code-application record is normalized for this state. A source node alone does not activate requirements.

No city or county briefing is open here yet.

Living here

State distribution, native range, invasive status, hardiness, and fire evidence answer different questions. None is a planting approval. The list itself is on Grow — this page carries the aggregates.
