Submitting a Swimming Pool Construction Permit Application
If you are planning on creating a new swimming pool establishment, you will want to create your new entity while using the Swimming Pool Construction Permit Application activity.
This application process is for a single pool; if you are making modifications to multiple pools, you will need to complete a form for each pool.
Create a new activity. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:
Using the Activity Menu on the user Dashboard
Selecting Create Activity in the left-hand menu.
Select the Swimming Pool Establishment Entity type.
Select Swimming Pool Construction Permit as the Activity type.
Locate your Entity.
For modifications on an entity, you are currently a contributor to select the establishment from the Your Swimming Pool Entities list.
If you are a construction contractor or an engineer submitting on behalf of the swimming pool establishment, and the establishment does not appear in your swimming pool establishment entities, you may need to search the Full Set of Swimming Pool Establishment entities.
For a new Swimming Pool Construction Permit, select Create a new Swimming Pool.
