Spas and hot tubs in Delray Beach require a building permit plus electrical permit and must have a lockable safety cover meeting ASTM F1346 or a full 48-inch barrier. Hot tubs are treated as pools under FL 515 unless covered.
Under FL Building Code and FL 515.25(3), a spa or hot tub with a locked safety cover meeting ASTM F1346 is exempt from the 48-inch barrier requirement. Without a compliant cover it must be fenced like a pool. Delray Beach requires a building permit (roughly 200-400 dollars) and an electrical permit for 240V bonding per NEC 680. Setbacks mirror pool rules. GFCI protection required on all spa circuits.
Uncovered, unfenced spa: 500 dollar fine and misdemeanor exposure under FL 515.29. Unpermitted: double permit fee plus 250 dollars/day.
