Englewood requires a permit from the Chief Inspector before constructing or establishing any private swimming pool or wading pool within the city limits.
Under Chapter 385 of the Englewood Code, owners must apply to the Chief Inspector for a permit before constructing, establishing, or maintaining a private pool. Applications must include plans showing property location and dimensions, proposed pool location and dimensions, location of other buildings, and the height and description of all existing and proposed fencing. The Health Officer and City Engineer must approve plans before permits issue. Pools must be constructed from cleanable, waterproof materials.
Building a pool without a permit, failing to submit required plans, or installing without Health Officer approval triggers stop-work orders and municipal court fines.
