Casa Grande, AZ Swimming Pools & Spas: Pool Permits (2026)

Casa Grande Municipal Code § 17.52.110 requires that all swimming pool plans and safety devices proposed for construction be presented to the planning department for approval before the pool is built. That review sits alongside the pool's siting rule in § 17.52.110(A): the pool and any structures housing its appurtenances, such as pump equipment enclosures, must stay at least five feet from the nearest property line, and the pool cannot be placed between the front property line and the front building setback line. Section 17.52.110(C) further requires the pool or mechanical equipment to be positioned to minimize noise and lessen nuisance to neighboring apartment and house occupants, a factor the planning department can weigh when it reviews the submitted plans.

Because this sits within Title 17 Zoning rather than the building code chapters, the planning department's approval addresses siting, setback and safety-device compliance; a separate building permit under the city's adopted construction codes still applies to the physical construction itself. Homeowners should submit pool plans, fence/barrier details and any required safety devices together so the planning department can confirm the five-foot setback, the front-yard restriction and the noise-siting standard in one review before work begins.
