Pools and hot tubs
Pools and hot tubs
A building permit is required when you are installing a hot tub, a whirlpool or spa. You also need a permit if you are installing a pool, including inflatables, that can hold 24 inches or water or more. These all need to be protected by a fence or similar enclosure.
A fence isn't needed for a hot tub, whirlpool or spa if it is fitted with a lid or cover that locks. The lid must comply with clauses 9.1 and 9.2 and 9.4 of the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) Standard F1346.

A $100 application fee and $50 inspection fee is collected, and if access occurs over Township boulevards, sidewalks or curbs, a $2,500 damage deposit will also be collected. The damage deposit fee will be released at the completion of the project if there has been no damage done to Township property. |
