South Carolina 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 with South Carolina modifications, mandatory for all counties and municipalities since January 1, 2023 (South Carolina Building Codes Council).
- Pool barriers
- No state pool barrier statute; the ISPSC is a permissive code in South Carolina, so barrier rules apply where a county or city adopts the ISPSC or its own ordinance.
- Contractor licensing
- Since May 19, 2023, residential pool work over $10,000 requires a General Contractor license with the Swimming Pools classification from the Contractor's Licensing Board, or a Residential Builder license from the Residential Builders Commission (LLR).
- Public pools
- South Carolina Department of Environmental Services, Regulation 61-51 (Public Swimming Pools): a permit to construct is required, with plans sealed by a South Carolina registered architect or engineer.
- Engineer licensing
- South Carolina Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors
