Swimming pool permit rules in Simpsonville, SC — also covering above-ground pools, in-ground pools, and spa installations — set fencing, barrier, alarm, and inspection requirements.
Yes. Simpsonville adopts the International Building Codes (including the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code) with South Carolina Modifications, so a building permit and inspections are required before installing a pool.
Simpsonville Code sec. 8-41 adopts by reference the International Building Codes published by the International Code Council, including the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, to include the South Carolina Modifications, to regulate construction and require permits. Sec. 8-3 requires a building permit before beginning work; a permit-fee schedule is on file in the city offices. Apply through the Planning & Codes/Building Department. The city's Zoning Ordinance (sec. 3.3.13) separately treats swimming pools as an accessory use that must meet barrier and setback standards for the zoning district.
Building without the required permit violates sec. 8-42; Code violations are a municipal offense subject to fines and stop-work orders under ch. 8.
