Unincorporated Pulaski County

The inspections page states the office inspects all buildings, structures, and work for which a permit of any kind has been issued and applies the Georgia State Building Codes to location, design, materials, equipment, construction, alteration, repair, moving, demolition, removal, and occupancy of buildings and structures, including manufactured homes

Note: No public unincorporated Pulaski County exempt-work list was found in the official county-city pages reviewed

Building code

The county inspection function publicly references the Georgia State Building Codes; DCA current-code publications show the statewide baseline includes the 2018 IBC, 2018 IRC, 2018 IPC, 2018 IMC, 2018 IFGC, 2018 IFC, 2015 IECC, 2020 NEC, and 2018 ISPSC with Georgia amendments; no separate Pulaski County local building-code amendment page was found publicly

Owner-builder

Georgia law allows an owner to act as his or her own contractor on property owned by that person and intended solely for that person, family, firm, or corporation, subject to the statutory limits in O.C.G.A. 43-41-17(h); no Pulaski County-specific owner-builder handout was found publicly

Contractor requirements

Georgia law requires residential contractor licensure where residential contractor work exceeds $2,500; state law bars permit issuance for work requiring a licensed residential or general contractor unless the applicant provides the applicable Georgia contractor license number; separate Georgia trade licensure applies where required
