Hot tubs and spas in Irving must comply with pool barrier requirements under TX H&S Code Ch. 757. Electrical permits required for wiring. Covers with lockable straps may supplement fencing.
Hot tubs and spas in Irving fall under the same regulatory framework as swimming pools per TX Health and Safety Code Chapter 757 and Irving's building codes. Pool fencing requirements (48-inch barriers with self-closing, self-latching gates) apply to hot tubs and spas. Locking hot tub covers with secure straps may serve as part of the barrier system when the tub is not in use. Electrical permits are required for hot tub wiring, with GFCI protection mandatory for all circuits. Hot tubs must comply with setback requirements and cannot be placed on easements. Pre-fabricated portable hot tubs may still require electrical permits for the dedicated circuit. Chemical storage should follow manufacturer safety guidelines.
Electrical work without permit: fines and required remediation. Non-compliant barriers: same as pool violations.
