Swimming pool permit rules in Paulding County, GA — also covering above-ground pools, in-ground pools, and spa installations — set fencing, barrier, alarm, and inspection requirements.
Paulding County requires a building permit before any in-ground or pre-manufactured above-ground pool goes in. The Building & Permitting Division reviews sealed pool location plans and inspects the work under Georgia's state minimum standard codes.
A pool in unincorporated Paulding County is a structure, so the Building & Permitting Division must issue a permit before excavation or assembly starts. The application takes two sets of pool location plans drawn to scale and signed and sealed by a Georgia-registered surveyor, engineer, or landscape architect, showing the pool against setbacks, easements, and other structures. Around Dallas and Hiram many lots run on septic, so a pool near a tank or field lines needs Environmental Health sign-off first. The pump wiring draws a separate electrical inspection with GFCI protection and bonding. Georgia's Department of Public Health regulates public and community pools separately, not a backyard pool.
Building a pool without the county permit is unlawful work that draws a stop-work order, penalties, and retroactive permitting. Skipping the required septic or barrier review blocks final approval.
