Hot tubs and spas in Chandler must meet pool barrier requirements or have an approved locking safety cover. Building permits may be required for permanent installations with electrical connections.
Chandler treats hot tubs and spas the same as pools for barrier and safety purposes under the adopted building code and ARS 36-1681. Spas must be enclosed by a 5-foot barrier or have an approved ASTM-rated locking safety cover. The cover must be capable of supporting an adult's weight. GFCI protection is required for all electrical connections. Spas must meet setback requirements from property lines. Permanent installations with electrical and plumbing connections typically require building permits. Portable plug-in hot tubs may have reduced permit requirements but still need barrier compliance.
Hot tubs without proper barriers or covers are subject to building code enforcement. Non-compliant electrical work is a serious safety and code violation.
