A hot tub or spa in Peoria County needs a permit, mostly for its 240-volt electrical circuit, and it must meet the same barrier rules as a pool unless it has a locking, code-compliant safety cover.
Peoria County and the City of Peoria permit hot tubs and spas, chiefly for the 240-volt electrical connection, which must be GFCI-protected and installed under permit. A spa deep enough to hold standing water triggers the residential barrier requirement, but a locking safety cover that meets the ASTM standard satisfies it in place of a fence. Setbacks from property lines apply, and drainage cannot run onto neighboring property or into a storm drain. A spa placed on a deck or elevated platform may need a structural check for the loaded weight. Indoor installations need adequate ventilation to handle humidity.
Wiring a spa without an electrical permit, or leaving it uncovered with no barrier, is a code violation. Correction and a retroactive permit are required, and unbonded wiring fails inspection.
