Pennsylvania 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 under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code (Department of Labor & Industry), mandatory statewide since January 1, 2026, enforced by municipalities or certified third-party agencies.
- Pool barriers
- UCC regulation 34 Pa. Code § 403.26 requires pools, spas and hot tubs accessory to one- and two-family dwellings to comply with the 2018 ISPSC, including its barrier provisions.
- Contractor licensing
- No state pool license; residential pool work over $500 is home improvement under the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act, so contractors register with the Office of Attorney General (exempt under $5,000 of home improvement a year).
- Public pools
- Pennsylvania Department of Health permits public bathing places under the Public Bathing Law (35 P.S. §§ 672-680d) and 28 Pa. Code Chapter 18; construction must also meet the 2018 ISPSC under 34 Pa. Code § 403.26(b).

Frequently Asked
Which pool code applies to residential pools in Pennsylvania?
The UCC, 34 Pa. Code § 403.26, requires pools, hot tubs and spas accessory to one- and two-family dwellings to comply with the 2018 ISPSC, including barrier provisions. The municipal code official or a certified third-party agency reviews and inspects.
Do pool builders need state registration in Pennsylvania?
Yes, for residential work. Building a pool at a private residence for more than $500 is home improvement under HICPA, so the contractor must register with the Office of Attorney General unless it does under $5,000 of home improvement a year.
Are your Pennsylvania pool plans sealed by a Pennsylvania-licensed engineer?
Yes. A Professional Engineer licensed in Pennsylvania reviews the package, takes responsible charge and applies their seal. You receive a submission-ready set for your Pennsylvania jurisdiction.
