Swimming pool permit rules in Lakewood, CO — also covering above-ground pools, in-ground pools, and spa installations — set fencing, barrier, alarm, and inspection requirements.
In unincorporated Jeffco, a county Miscellaneous Permit is required for a swimming pool of any size (in-ground or above-ground) and related structures like diving boards and ladders. Hot tubs and swim spas do not need one. All must meet zone-district setbacks.
Jefferson County Planning & Zoning states: "We require a Miscellaneous Permit for swimming pools of any size (both in-ground and above ground) and related structures (diving boards, ladders, etc.). A Miscellaneous Permit is not required for hot tubs and swim spas." All pools, related structures, hot tubs, and swim spas must meet the setbacks and height limits of the property's zone district. The county builds to the adopted 2018 Residential Code (IRC); private residential pools are exempt from the state public-pool regulation (5 CCR 1003-5, def. 11).

Building without a required Miscellaneous Permit is a zoning/building-code violation; the county can issue stop-work orders and require permitting after the fact. Contact Building Safety at 303-271-8260.
