Fiberglass Pool Installation in Apopka: common questions
Who issues pool permits in Apopka, FL?
The City of Apopka Building Safety Division. Building Safety, part of the city's Community Development Services, handles permits inside Apopka city limits. Homes in unincorporated Orange County near Apopka permit through Orange County instead.
Does every Apopka mailing address permit with the city?
Only addresses inside Apopka city limits. Unincorporated areas nearby permit through the Orange County Division of Building Safety. Confirm which office covers your address before applying.
Does a fiberglass pool still need a permit and a barrier?
Yes. Fiberglass pools need the same building, electrical and plumbing permits and must meet the s. 515.27, F.S., safety feature requirement before final inspection.
Can a fiberglass pool be installed where the water table is high?
It can, but the design has to account for groundwater pushing up on the shell. Orange County, for example, asks fiberglass permit applicants to show the method used to resist hydrostatic pressure based on soil conditions, plus the leveling, step support and backfill methods.
