Pool Design in Volusia County: common questions
Who issues pool permits in Volusia County, FL?
The Volusia County Building and Code Administration. The county division runs the Permit Center, building code administration and contractor licensing. Homes inside a city's limits usually permit through that city's own building department; confirm which office covers your address before applying.
Does the Volusia County Building and Code Administration cover every address in Volusia County?
The county office handles unincorporated Volusia County. Homes inside a city usually permit through that city's own building department; confirm which office covers your address before applying.
What does a pool permit plan need to show?
Requirements vary by building department. Orange County, for example, asks for plans by a Florida-licensed engineer or architect showing the pool, spa and deck relative to the house, the locations of lights, drains and sun shelves, depths, and a Swimming Pool Safety Affirmation naming the barrier.
Should the safety barrier be part of the design?
Yes. Florida requires one of five safety features before a new residential pool can pass final inspection (s. 515.27, F.S.). Choosing it during design keeps it on the permit drawings instead of becoming a last-minute change.
