Swimming Pools and Spas

Swimming pools or spas that exceed 24 inches in depth require a permit. A pool barrier is required for all areas surrounding a swimming pool. This barrier may be required to include an alarm device for any doors that lead from the home into the pool area. An affidavit certifying the installation of such an alarm may be submitted in lieu of an alarm inspection. Specific requirements related to fences surrounding pools may be found as adopted and amended by the City of College Station's current code year. If a contractor is used, that contractor must be registered with the City of College Station.

To obtain a permit an Application for Building Permit must be completed and submitted along with a copy of the building plans. A permit fee is required upon approval of application. Submission for a building permit should be made through our online permitting system eTRAKiT.
