Swimming pool permit rules in Port Orange, FL — also covering above-ground pools, in-ground pools, and spa installations — set fencing, barrier, alarm, and inspection requirements.
Volusia County requires building permits for all in-ground pools, spas, and above-ground pools over 24 inches deep. FL Building Code 7th Ed. Ch. 4 and FL §515 Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act apply.
Volusia County Building Division requires permits for all swimming pools, spas, and permanent hot tubs under FL Building Code 7th Edition (2020) Chapter 4 and FL Statutes Ch. 515 (Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act). Plan review covers setbacks from property lines (typically 7.5 to 10 feet), drainage, electrical bonding/GFCI (per NEC Article 680), barrier compliance, and at least one FL §515.27 safety feature (pool fence with self-closing/latching gate, approved cover, alarms on doors/windows, or exit alarm). Above-ground pools over 24 inches deep require permits; smaller inflatable pools exempt. Required inspections: layout, steel/plumbing, electrical, and final.

Florida has the highest residential pool density per capita in the US. Coastal wind loads affect screen enclosure permitting.
