Swimming pool permits

Swimming pool permits regualtions can vary from state to state, county to county and even city to city. Fortunately, there are some general guidelines when considering a swimming pool project. Here are some questions you will have to ask yourself or your pool prefessional:

Public or Private utilities, well location? Septic location?

Property lines- easements? Building restriction Lines?

Utilities- Overhead electric lines? Gas Main? Sewer main? Where are the lines for my cable, telephone, electric, gas, satelite, etc?

You need to know your Setbacks to all of the above. Each jurisdiction is different and you must be aware of what departments must sign off prior to issuing the permit. Also, most jurisdictions require a fence around the pool. Look for the next blog to talk about fence requirements.
