Hot tubs and spas in Anderson are permitted under the same Swimming Pool and Spa Permit as pools. The application covers spas explicitly and requires two scaled drawings and a site plan; the permit is valid one year.
Anderson's Department of Municipal Development uses a single Swimming Pool and Spa Permit application for both pools and spas. Applicants indicate whether the unit is residential, commercial, multi-family, or located inside a building, and provide size, lot dimensions, rear-yard area, and setbacks from lot lines. Because a spa is an improvement, an Improvement Location Permit and any electrical permit also apply. Detailed spa cover/barrier requirements come from the Indiana Residential Code, which Anderson enforces.
Installing a spa without the pool/spa permit is a violation handled by the Department of Municipal Development; the unit must be permitted and inspected.
