Above-ground hot tubs and spas in Jurupa Valley require submitted plans showing location, setbacks, and electrical work, and must be equipped with an ASTM-listed safety cover.
For above-ground hot tubs or spas, the City of Jurupa Valley Building Department requires legible plans showing the location of the hot tub or spa and its distance from property lines and other structures, the scope and location of any new electrical work, and the size and location of the existing electrical panel. The plans must note that the hot tub or spa is equipped with an ASTM-listed safety cover. State law (Cal. H&S Code 115921) defines a 'spa' and 'hot tub' as within the meaning of 'swimming pool' when the water is over 18 inches deep, so spas can be subject to the same Swimming Pool Safety Act drowning-prevention requirements; an approved safety pool cover is one of the qualifying state safety features. Questions on these requirements can be directed to the city Building Department at Buildingpermits@jurupavalley.org.
Installing an above-ground hot tub or spa without the required plans, electrical permitting, and an ASTM-listed safety cover can result in failed inspection and code enforcement; spas meeting the depth threshold must also satisfy the applicable barrier/drowning-prevention requirements.
