Acknowledgement Regarding
Swimming Pool Installation
The Building
Codes Official requires this acknowledgement form to be signed by both the
owner of the property where a swimming pool is proposed to be installed as
well as the contractor who will be installing the swimming pool.
A building
permit must be issued for the installation of the swimming pool by the Codes
Officer before the pool may be installed. The commencement of installation,
or the installation of a swimming pool without first obtaining a permit from Codes
constitutes a violation of specific codes and ordinances.
The
Codes Inspector must be notified before filling the pool with any
water. Filling or utilizing the swimming pool
before Codes has completed both its final inspection and approval for the
swimming pool may constitute a criminal misdemeanor violation of specific
codes/ordinances and can be potentially dangerous.
A Certificate
of Occupancy which is considered to be the final approval by the Codes
Officer, will not be issued until the swimming pool meets all code
requirements and a final inspection has occurred. Should any of these
violations occur, the Codes Officer will not hesitate to take appropriate
legal action, including criminal prosecution.
The below
signed have fully read this acknowledgment form, understand its terms and
agree to abide by same:
