Hot tubs and spas in Aurora require electrical permits for installation. A lockable cover may serve as the barrier requirement. Setback requirements same as pools: 5 feet from property lines. Drainage must not affect neighboring properties.
Hot tubs and spas in Aurora require an electrical permit for installation due to the dedicated 240V circuit requirement. A lockable, ASTM-compliant safety cover may satisfy the barrier requirement in lieu of a fence, as the cover prevents unsupervised access. Setback requirements follow pool standards: 5 feet from property lines, outside easements. Drainage and overflow water must not affect neighboring properties. Hot tubs on elevated decks must meet structural load requirements. The building division handles permits.
Unpermitted electrical: code violation. Improper drainage: code enforcement action.
