Permits in Orlando
Who reviews and inspects the work
City of Orlando Permitting Services Division
The city's residential pool checklist lists building, electrical and engineering permits for a typical pool, plus a plumbing or gas permit when the pool has a gas heater or an automatic fill line. It also asks for a site plan that meets city standards, your zoning district and, if applicable, your HOA.
Checked on the official site on 2026-10-21. Requirements change; the building department's current checklist governs.
Every new residential pool in Florida needs one of five safety features before it can pass final inspection (s. 515.27, F.S.). Many HOAs also require architectural approval before work starts.

Can lights be added to an existing pool?
