The National Electrical Code requires outdoor receptacles to be GFCI protected. This is a safety measure to prevent electrocution in wet or damp conditions. While a dedicated circuit is often recommended for outdoor outlets, it is not required by the NEC. AFCI protection is required for certain areas in the home, but not specifically for outdoor receptacles.
