Pool construction in Gilbert requires a building permit. Residential swimming pool plan review goals have been in the range of a few working days when the submittal package is complete. The package normally includes a site plan showing the pool relative to property lines and setbacks, engineered plans, barrier design, and electrical details. Electrical work requires a separate permit.
Gilbert requires a 5- to 6-foot enclosure with self-closing, self-latching gates. The barrier is part of the permit package and is inspected before the pool can be filled. Residential pools must be in the side or rear yard and not closer than 3 feet from any property line. Climbable features should not be closer than 3 feet to the fence.
HOA requirements in East Valley communities can add time before the Town submittal. An authorized pool contractor familiar with Gilbert’s Land Development Code and inspection sequence can coordinate the survey, engineered plans, barrier design, and inspections so the project stays on track.
