Do I Need a Permit to Install a Pool?

In most cases, yes, a building permit is required to install an inground pool or swim spa. Permit requirements vary by city, county, and state, and are typically in place to ensure safety, proper construction, and compliance with local zoning and building codes.

Permits may involve:

• Local building or zoning approval

• Electrical and plumbing inspections

• Fence or safety barrier requirements

• Setback and property line regulations
