Swimming Pools

The Florida Department of Health (DOH) regulates all public pools and bathing places as defined in Chapter 64E-9 of the Florida Administrative Code. This regulation is considered a significant factor in the prevention of disease, sanitary nuisances, and accidents. Inspection occurs twice a year.

All proposed new constructions and modifications to existing pools require approval from the DOH. Annual Permits issued by the DOH are valid from July 1 through June 30. These permits must be applied for and renewed annually.

Permit Types

• Pool and Bathing Places greater than 25,000 gallons/$350.00
• Pools of 25,000 gallons or less/$225.00
• Non-Routine Inspection/$100.00
