Question about Installer / Permit

[hrsdennis]

In the area I work in, Phx, Az. Very few permits are required. When the customer feels they should get one I let them pull it. My feeling is, I do not do the electrical run or the safety fencing that is usually required. I just install the pool. Therefore the homeowner is the general contractor and I am just a sub. I install the pool where they tell me to. The electrical, fencing and setbacks are their concern.

For triple the cost, or better, I could easily become the prime contractor and do it all. I just choose to do what I do best, install the pools.

Later, Dennis

If you care check your local codes, where I am permits are required for any pool -- even a little tiny thing for a three year old!

Up here, an A/G is also not considered a permanent structure and therefore does not require a permit, if you pour a slab, or anything else semi permanent you do need a permit.
