Fayette County, GA Swimming Pools & Spas: Pool Permits (2026)

Section 102-2339 requires a permit before any owner or authorized agent constructs, enlarges, alters, repairs, moves or demolishes an aquatic vessel, or installs, alters or replaces any regulated system. Under § 102-2340, the application goes to the code official on the county's form with the required fee, a general description of the proposed work and its location, and the signature of the owner or an authorized agent. Section 102-2341 requires construction documents, engineering calculations and other data in two or more sets, drawn to scale and detailed enough to show the work conforms to the code; the code official can require a registered design professional when state law calls for one.

An application is deemed abandoned 180 days after filing unless it has been pursued in good faith or a permit has already issued, per § 102-2342, though the code official may grant one or more 180-day extensions on a written request showing justifiable cause. Once the code official finds the proposed work conforms to the code and the fees in § 102-2344 are paid, the permit issues under § 102-2343. 3, subject to the same extension process.
