Swimming pool permit rules in Anderson, IN — also covering above-ground pools, in-ground pools, and spa installations — set fencing, barrier, alarm, and inspection requirements.
Yes. Before building any pool or spa in Anderson you must obtain a Swimming Pool and Spa Permit from the Department of Municipal Development. The permit is valid for one year and requires two scaled drawings plus a site plan.
Anderson requires a permit for residential, commercial, multi-family, and in-building pools and spas. The application (Department of Municipal Development, 120 East Eighth Street) asks for pool size, lot size, rear-yard area, and distance from all lot lines, and requires two scaled drawings of the pool/spa plus a site plan. Because a pool is an improvement, an Improvement Location Permit under the Zoning Ordinance also applies, and electrical/HVAC work triggers separate permits. The permit is valid for one year from issuance.
Building a pool without the required permit is a zoning/building code violation enforced by the Department of Municipal Development; work may be stopped and the pool must be permitted and inspected.
