Pool Permit Requirements, looked up in seconds

Every jurisdiction wants something slightly different, and nobody publishes it in one place. The PermitPool app is the answer to "what does this city actually require?" — setbacks, barrier and gate codes, drainage and equipment rules, which sheets they want, what it costs and how long review takes. Built for pool contractors working across multiple cities and for homeowners trying to understand their own project.

The answer before the phone call to the city

Twenty-five years of permit runs, turned into a lookup instead of a hold queue.

  • Search by jurisdiction — pull the pool requirements for a city, county or HOA from one screen
  • Setbacks and placement — distances from property lines, structures, septic and easements, in plain numbers
  • Barrier and gate codes — fence heights, gate hardware, self-closing and self-latching rules and alarm requirements
  • Required sheets — exactly which drawings that office expects in the submittal, so nothing shows up missing
  • Fees and review timelines — what it costs and how long it realistically takes, so schedules get built on real numbers
  • Submittal checklist — generate a tickable list for that specific jurisdiction and work it down before you file
  • HOA mode — the same lookup pointed at association guidelines, which govern more projects than most owners expect
  • Hand off to a plan set — send the checklist straight to Brian and start the drawings already knowing the rules
Pool elevation drawings of the kind the PermitPool app tells you a jurisdiction will require

Built From Real Submittals

Sourced from sets that actually went in

The requirement data doesn't come from scraping ordinance PDFs and hoping. It comes from plan sets that went through real intake counters, got real comments back, and got approved — which is how you learn what a jurisdiction enforces versus what it merely publishes.

That's also the honest limit of the tool: it tells you what to expect and what to prepare. It does not replace confirming with your authority having jurisdiction, and it never will.

Multi-city contractor view

Early Access

Contractors and homeowners, in first

The app is in active development. Early-access users get free access at launch and help decide which jurisdictions get mapped next — if you build in a metro that isn't covered yet, saying so is how it gets covered. Leave your details below and mention the app, or call (940) 433-4333.
