Swimming pool permit rules in Cherry Hill, NJ — also covering above-ground pools, in-ground pools, and spa installations — set fencing, barrier, alarm, and inspection requirements.
Backyard residential pools are permitted by your municipality under the state Uniform Construction Code, not the county. The Camden County Department of Health only permits and inspects PUBLIC recreational bathing pools (clubs, apartments, motels) under N.J.A.C. 8:26.
For a home pool, you file with your municipal construction official: New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code (N.J.A.C. 5:23) and the adopted 2018 Swimming Pool and Spa Code require construction/electrical permits for in-ground and most above-ground pools. Camden County itself does not issue residential pool permits. Where the county DOES act is public/semi-public bathing: the Camden County Department of Health reviews plans, issues operating permits and inspects swimming pools, spas, lakes and other public waters under the state Public Recreational Bathing rule, N.J.A.C. 8:26. Contact the county health office at 856-374-6052 for a public-pool permit; contact your town's building department for a backyard pool.
Building a residential pool without the municipal UCC permit brings a stop-work order and per-day fines from the local construction official. Operating an unpermitted public pool is enforced by the county health department under N.J.A.C. 8:26.
