Hot tubs and spas in Temple Terrace require electrical permits and must have a lockable, ASTM F1346-compliant safety cover or be enclosed by a 48-inch barrier.
Portable hot tubs and spas are regulated under FL Building Code and FL §515.25. A lockable safety cover meeting ASTM F1346 may substitute for a full barrier. Hardwired spas require an electrical permit and GFCI protection; plug-in 120V units under 15 amps are exempt from electrical permitting but must use a GFCI-protected outlet. Spas installed on elevated decks must meet structural load requirements of at least 100 psf live load plus spa weight.
Missing cover or barrier: treated as pool safety violation under FL §515.29. Unpermitted electrical work: up to 500 dollars in fines plus double permit fees.
