Pool Construction in Altamonte Springs: common questions
Who issues pool permits in Altamonte Springs, FL?
The City of Altamonte Springs Building and Fire Safety. One city department handles building and fire permitting, plan review and inspections inside city limits, under the Florida Building Code and Florida Fire Prevention Code.
Does every Altamonte Springs mailing address permit with the city?
Only addresses inside Altamonte Springs city limits. Unincorporated areas nearby permit through the Seminole County Building Division. Confirm which office covers your address before applying.
Do I need a permit to build an inground pool?
Yes. In Central Florida an inground pool needs a building permit plus electrical and, when applicable, plumbing or gas sub-permits from the city or county building department that covers the property. A licensed contractor normally applies for them.
What safety feature does Florida require on a new pool?
Under s. 515.27, Florida Statutes, a new residential pool must have at least one of five safety features to pass final inspection: a compliant barrier, an approved safety cover, exit alarms on doors and windows to the pool, self-closing and self-latching doors to the pool, or an ASTM F2208 pool alarm.
