Hot tubs and spas in Fillmore require an electrical permit for the dedicated circuit and must comply with pool safety barrier requirements if the water depth exceeds 18 inches. Locking safety covers can substitute for some barrier requirements for spas.
Hot tubs and spas in Fillmore are subject to building and safety regulations. An electrical permit is required for the 240V dedicated circuit typically needed for hot tubs. Spas with water depth exceeding 18 inches must comply with California pool barrier requirements (60-inch enclosure, self-closing gate) or have an approved locking safety cover. Portable hot tubs placed on existing decks or patios may not require a building permit for the unit itself but still need the electrical permit. Spas must maintain setbacks from property lines (typically 5 feet). Drainage from hot tubs must not discharge to the storm drain system — water should be directed to landscaping or the sewer connection. GFCI protection is mandatory for all spa electrical circuits.
Electrical work without a permit is a building code violation. Hot tubs without proper safety barriers or covers where required are safety violations. Draining spa water to the storm drain violates stormwater regulations.
