Public Pools and Spas

A permit is required to operate a public swimming pool and/or spa. Annual fees are based on year-round or seasonal operation and the number of pools/spas. Plan checks are required on all public pools or spas and three sets of plans and plan review fee must be submitted and approved by the EHD. Inspections are made by EHD staff to ensure proper maintenance of these facilities.
