Hot tubs and spas in Cedar Park require a permit but are exempted from the standard pool barrier rules if equipped with a listed, lockable safety cover that meets ASTM F1346.
Under the 2021 ISPSC §305.6 (adopted by Cedar Park Article 3.01), a 'spa or hot tub' that is equipped with a lockable safety cover complying with ASTM F1346 is exempt from the perimeter barrier requirements that apply to swimming pools. A building/electrical permit is still required for the installation, including GFCI protection on the spa circuit and equipotential bonding around the spa. Plug-in (cord-and-plug-connected) 120V spas under 50 gallons may not need a separate electrical permit, but the unit must still be installed per NEC Article 680. State law: Tex. Health & Safety Code §757.002 excludes spas/hot tubs covered by an approved safety cover from Chapter 757 enclosure requirements for apartment and HOA properties.
Operating without a permit or removing the lockable safety cover means the spa is regulated as a pool and must have a 48-in ISPSC-compliant barrier. Penalties up to $2,000/day under Tex. Local Gov't Code §54.001 for building/health code violations.
