Louisiana pool permit requirements
The state-level rules your drawings are checked against. Cities and counties can add local amendments, so send the jurisdiction with your enquiry.
- Residential code
- 2021 IRC as amended (LAC 17:I.107), mandatory statewide minimum code under the Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code Council since January 1, 2023; adoption of the 2024 I-Codes was on the council's 2026 agenda.

Frequently Asked
Do residential pool builders in Louisiana need a state license?
Yes. The Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors requires a Residential Swimming Pools license when the project value exceeds $7,500. Local permit offices typically check the license before issuing a pool permit.
Why do Louisiana pool shells need uplift checks?
Shallow groundwater across much of south Louisiana can float an empty shell. Drawings should show a hydrostatic relief system and a shell designed for buoyancy, especially in New Orleans area soft clays.
Are your Louisiana pool plans sealed by a Louisiana-licensed engineer?
Yes. A Professional Engineer licensed in Louisiana reviews the package, takes responsible charge and applies their seal. You receive a submission-ready set for your Louisiana jurisdiction.
