Full Breakdown
The Township's Uniform Construction Code office treats a hot tub or spa the same as a swimming pool for permitting: a flat installation fee applies under the R-5 residential use group, and every pool, spa, or hot tub in Brick gets a mandatory annual electrical inspection at $65 (a second unit on the same property adds $50). The fee schedule in Chapter 145 doesn't set barrier specs, those come from the state Uniform Construction Code's adopted pool and spa barrier requirements, which Brick's Construction Official enforces at permit review and final inspection before issuing a certificate of occupancy.
Violations & Fines
Installing a hot tub, spa, or pool without a Chapter 145 construction permit, or skipping the required annual electrical inspection, is a code violation the Construction Official can order corrected before occupancy or use continues.
