All pools over 24 inches deep require a construction permit. Public pools in Hudson County require inspection and licensing by the Hudson County Department of Health.
Private swimming pools in Hudson County require a construction permit from the municipal construction official before installation. The NJ Residential Code (adopted as part of NJ UCC under N.J.A.C. 5:23) specifies safety requirements including: pool barriers (4-foot minimum fence), anti-entrapment drain covers (VGB Act compliance), required setbacks from property lines and structures, electrical bonding requirements, and pool lighting standards. Public and semi-public pools (apartment complexes, hotels, clubs) must be licensed and periodically inspected by the Hudson County Department of Health and Human Services under N.J.A.C. 8:26. Contact Hudson County Division of Environmental and Public Health Engineering at (201) 369-5100 for public pool inspections.
