All swimming pools in Colorado Springs require a building permit, electrical permit, and gas/mechanical permit as applicable. Multiple inspections are required during and after construction. Above-ground pools must also comply with barrier requirements.
PPRBD administers all pool permits: building permit (structure), electrical permit (circuits and bonding), and gas/mechanical permit (heaters). Required inspections include pool structure, circulation/drains, electrical bonding, backflow prevention, gas piping, and final fence inspection. The pool cannot be filled until the permanent fence passes inspection. Pool water chemistry and sanitation are regulated by El Paso County Public Health for non-residential pools; residential pools have no ongoing inspection requirement, but property owners are responsible for safe conditions. Outdoor water conservation rules (CSU Water-Wise) apply to pool filling — consider using grey water or recirculated water where possible.
Non-compliant safety: correction order. Fines $250 to $1,000. Disclosure required at sale.
