Site plan for a pool permit: what building departments require

Nearly all U.S. cities require a site plan to permit a swimming pool — both in-ground and above-ground. The plan must show pool placement, setbacks, existing structures, and often a required safety barrier or fence.

FAQs

What does a pool permit site plan need to show?

A pool permit site plan must include the pool’s location and dimensions, setbacks from all
property lines and structures, existing structures on the lot, utility locations, and the required
safety barrier or fence placement. MySitePlan includes all elements to match your local
permit checklist.

Does MySitePlan handle above-ground pool permits?

Yes. We provide site plans for both in-ground and above-ground swimming pools. Both types require a permit in most jurisdictions and both require a site plan showing placement
and setbacks.

How much does a pool permit site plan cost?

Pool permit site plans from MySitePlan are $119 (Medium plan). Flat-rate pricing, no hidden fees. Unlimited revisions included if your building department requests changes.

Do I need to show the pool safety fence on my site plan?

In most cities, yes. Pool permit applications require the site plan to show a compliant
safety barrier or fence around the pool area. MySitePlan can include this — just let us know
the fence location when ordering.
