Swimming pool permit rules in Weld County, CO — also covering above-ground pools, in-ground pools, and spa installations — set fencing, barrier, alarm, and inspection requirements.
Unincorporated Weld County requires a building permit for pool and spa installation under the county's adopted 2018 IBC/IRC and International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. Public and semi-public pools must also submit plans to the state (CDPHE) at least 30 days before construction.
Weld County's Building Inspection Division enforces the 2018 IBC, 2018 IRC and 2018 ISPSC (effective January 1, 2022) on unincorporated land, so an in-ground pool, spa, or hot tub needs a building permit and electrical permit. Small prefabricated above-ground pools under 24 inches deep and 5,000 gallons are exempt from the building permit. Public and semi-public pools are additionally regulated by Colorado's health rule, 5 CCR 1003-5, which requires plans be submitted to the state at least 30 days before construction. Home-rule cities such as Greeley and Evans issue their own pool permits.
Installing a regulated pool or spa without the required building and electrical permits is a code violation subject to stop-work orders and the county's building code enforcement.
