Frequently Asked
Which pool code applies to a residential pool permit in Maryland?
Pools with permit applications received on or after December 31, 2023 must meet the Maryland Swimming Pool and Spa Standards, COMAR 09.12.56, which adopt the 2021 ISPSC with state amendments. The county or city enforces it.
Does a Maryland residential pool builder need a state license?
Yes. Building a pool adjacent to a residence is home improvement under Business Regulation Article §8-101, so the contractor needs a Maryland Home Improvement Commission license. Public pools also need Maryland Department of Health plan review.
Are your Maryland pool plans sealed by a Maryland-licensed engineer?
Yes. A Professional Engineer licensed in Maryland reviews the package, takes responsible charge and applies their seal. You receive a submission-ready set for your Maryland jurisdiction.
