Full Breakdown
Under § 16.06.150 of Edmond's residential building code, a pool permit is required once the pool reaches 12 feet in diameter and 2 feet of water depth: the rule applies whether the pool is in-ground or above-ground, so kiddie pools and small inflatable pools below that size don't trigger it. The $100 fee covers plan review and inspection. Building without a permit once you cross that threshold exposes the homeowner to triple the permit cost under the city's unpermitted-construction penalty, plus a possible stop-work order until the pool is brought into compliance.
Violations & Fines
Installing a qualifying pool without first obtaining the permit can trigger a stop-work order, and Edmond's fee schedule charges 3 times the normal permit cost for construction started without required permits.
