(A) It shall be unlawful to proceed with the construction, installation, enlargement or alteration of any swimming pool and appurtenances within the city without first obtaining from the Building Official a permit in writing to do so, except those pools specifically exempt. This includes all above ground pools which exceed either 5,000 gallons or are capable of greater than 24 inches in water depth. Where applicable, all work shall conform to the current adopted building code pursuant to § 150.015 of this code.
(B) On-ground storable swimming pools which exceed 5,000 gallons or are capable of greater than 24 inches in water depth shall require a permit. The permit is applied for and purchased one time and is good for only the pool structure, address and owner that the permit was originally applied for. This permit is not transferable to another address, person or pool structure. In the event that a pool different from the one originally applied for is installed, then a new permit application and fee shall be submitted to the Building Official. This same process shall be followed should the owner of the pool move to a different address and wish to install the pool at the new location or if the pool changes ownership. If the owner of the pool wishes to change the location of the pool upon the original property, this too shall require a new permit application and fee.
(C) Exempt pools. Storable and temporary swimming pools less than 5,000 gallons and are not capable of water depth of greater than 24 inches that are drained and stored when not in use shall be exempt from required permits but shall comply with all other sections of this chapter which may require other permits to be obtained from the Building Official.
