Permits and local rules for pool building
New pools almost always need permits, and most places require a barrier (a fence or other approved protection) and electrical inspections.
Ask the contractor which permits they pull (building, electrical, sometimes zoning) and what inspections are expected before you can fill or use the pool.
Barrier rules are local and are there for safety. Confirm height, gates and latch requirements with your city or county, not only with the salesperson.
