Provo requires a building permit for all pools. Outdoor pools must be surrounded by a fence or wall of minimum 6 feet height, set back at least 5 feet from side and rear property lines. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching.
Per Provo City's residential pool requirements, a building permit is required before installing any pool. Outdoor pools must be enclosed by a wall or fence with a minimum height of 6 feet. The pool enclosure must be at least 5 feet from the side and rear property lines. The fence or wall may not have openings that allow passage of a 4-inch sphere. All gates to the pool area must be automatic, self-closing, and self-latching. These standards align with the International Residential Code (IRC) barrier requirements and Utah Admin Code R392-302 (UDOH public pools). For commercial pools, the permit process begins with Utah County Health Department at (801) 851-7525.
Installing a pool without a permit: stop-work order and fine. Non-compliant fencing: code citation requiring correction.
