Inspection and permit information

Inspections

Use this checklist to prepare for your inspection.

Permit requirements

Pools and spas need an annual permit unless properly removed.

Pool and spa safety signs

To prevent injuries, post rules where they are easy to see. Add pictures and symbols for easy understanding.

Create your own pool and spa safety signs.

Closed for the season?

Pools or spas that won’t open this year still need a permit. Contact us to change your permit. The fee is $165 a year for each inactive pool or spa.

Permit fees cover the cost of inspections to make sure pools and spas are secure to prevent drowning.
