STATE-LEVEL AUTHORITY

Office of Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner (OCI / State Fire Marshal)

State Fire Marshal authority over all GA jurisdictions for fire prevention, fire protection systems, and life safety. Performs reviews when local AHJ has no fire marshal of its own.

  • Adopts state-amended IFC 2018 + NFPA 101 2018 with Georgia modifications.
  • Healthcare occupancies fall under CMS-enforced NFPA 101 (2012) for federal compliance.
  • Plan review timeline: typically 2-4 weeks for non-healthcare; 4-8 weeks for healthcare. Confirm with the assigned reviewer.
  • GA Rules and Regulations Chapter 120-3 governs adoption.
