Utah County requires building permits for all in-ground pools and above-ground pools over 24 inches deep. Provo, Orem, and county inspections cover electrical, plumbing, and barriers. IBC 2021 adopted by Utah.
Pool permits required from Provo City Community Development, Orem City Development Services, or Utah County Building Department for unincorporated parcels.

Above-ground pools over 24 inches deep also require permits. Inflatable temporary pools under 24 inches typically exempt. Final inspection required before filling. Drought-related water conservation stages (Jordan Valley Water Conservancy, Central Utah Water Conservancy District) may restrict initial filling during Stage 2+ water shortages.
