Pinal County, AZ Swimming Pools & Spas: Pool Permits (2026)

PCDSC § 6.05.030(A)(7) adopts the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, 2018 Edition, published by the International Code Council, as Attachment No. 7 to the Pinal County building code. A copy is kept on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, each Board district office, and the Building Safety department library under § 6.05.030(B). Because pool construction typically adds a structure affecting the lot, § 6.05.060 requires the applicant to obtain a compliance review number from the Department of Planning and Development Services before the building official issues the pool permit; the code's exception for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, building, and remodeling work applies only where there is no change of use or additional area affecting required setbacks, which a new in-ground or above-ground pool ordinarily does not meet.

Under § 6.05.070, the building official can require whatever data and information is reasonably necessary to confirm the proposed pool complies with the adopted ISPSC and other applicable ordinances, and the building official keeps records of every pool permit application, issuance, and inspection per § 6.05.050(C).
