Swimming pool permit rules in Dunwoody, GA — also covering above-ground pools, in-ground pools, and spa installations — set fencing, barrier, alarm, and inspection requirements.
DeKalb County requires a building permit from Planning & Sustainability for all in-ground pools and above-ground pools over 24 inches deep. Plan review, electrical, and barrier inspections required.
All in-ground swimming pools and above-ground pools exceeding 24 inches in depth require a building permit from DeKalb County Planning & Sustainability (Development Services). Applications must include site plan, pool engineering, electrical, plumbing, and barrier/fencing plans. Pools must comply with the 2018 Georgia State Residential Code (with GA amendments), which adopts the IRC Appendix G for pool barriers (48-inch minimum fence, self-closing/self-latching gates). Multiple inspections are required: excavation, electrical bonding, plumbing, and final. Public and semi-public pools (apartment, HOA, hotel) are separately licensed by the Georgia Department of Public Health under Rules 511-3-5. Pools near the Chattahoochee corridor or FEMA floodplains may need additional floodplain review.
Building without permit: $500 to $2,500 plus stop-work order and double permit fees. Non-compliant barriers: correction required before final inspection. May require partial demolition if not buildable in place.
