Floyd County, IN Swimming Pools & Spas: Pool Permits (2026)

19), first adopted in Ordinance 1967-2 and later amended by Ordinance 77-3 (1977) and Ordinance XVII (2001). 17(E) adopts the county's Environmental Health Services fee schedule, and the swimming pool line sits next to fees for garages, outbuildings, geothermal heat installations and sprinkler systems, each an approval permit priced at $25. A separate line in the same table, 'public swimming pool permit,' charges $25 annually, but that entry covers public and semi-public pools, which Chapter 112 additionally regulates with its own annual operating permit ($30 for pools open less than six months a year, $60 for pools open longer) and a requirement that a certified pool operator maintain the water.

A private backyard pool in unincorporated Floyd County only needs the one-time $25 approval permit, not the Chapter 112 operating permit. 18(B) lets the Board of Commissioners grant a hardship exception once the Health Officer has investigated and reported. New Albany and Georgetown residents are outside this rule; their own city permitting applies inside those limits.
