Pool Permits

Pool Application Process: The City of Edgewood maintains an inter-local agreement with Orange County for the processing of most building permits and inspections. However, prior to submitting your application to Orange County, a zoning review by the City of Edgewood is required. CLICK HERE to access City Code Section for swimming pools. Please follow the steps outlined below for pool permit applications:

Application Process:

1. Submit Plans &  Swimming Pool Affirmation: Email your complete set of plans and a signed copy of the Ornage County Swimming Pool Safety Affirmation to info@edgewood-fl.gov.
2. Pay Required Fees: Submit a $50 non-refundable application fee and a $1,500 pass-through deposit* prior to review.
3. City Zoning Review: City staff will conduct a zoning review and provide you with either required revisions or zoning approval.
4. Orange County Submission: Upon receiving zoning approval from the City, submit your application and plans to Orange County through their Fast Track system for building permits and inspections.
5. Zoning Hold and Finalization:
   • The City will place a zoning hold on your project.
   • This hold ensures that you provide the City with the following:
     • A final as-built survey.
     • A final City inspection.
   • Once all requirements are met, the City will lift the zoning hold, and you may schedule final building inspections with Orange County.
6. Project Completion and Refund: Upon receiving a Certificate of Completion, please notify the City. We will finalize the project and reimburse any remaining balance in your project account.

*Understanding Pass-Through Fees: When submitting development applications to the City of Edgewood, including permanent sign applications, site plans, rezoning requests, and subdivision plats, you will be required to pay pass-through fees. These fees cover the costs of reviews and inspections conducted by our external consultants, such as engineers, planners, and attorneys.

How Pass-Through Fees Work:

• Application and Initial Deposit:
  • A non-refundable application fee and an initial pass-through deposit are required.
  • This deposit establishes a project account for your application.
• Consultant Reviews:
  • Our consultants will invoice the City for their time and expenses as they review your application.
  • These costs are then passed through to you, the applicant.
• Project Account and Invoicing:
  • Your project account tracks all consultant costs.
  • The City will send you invoices for these expenses.
  • Additional deposits will be required if the initial deposit is insufficient.
• Final Inspection and Refund:
  • A final inspection may be required, and its cost will be charged to your project account.
  • Any remaining balance in your project account will be refunded upon project completion.
• Important Points:
  • Failure to pay invoices may result in project delays or liens on your property.
  • The City's application fee covers internal administrative costs, not consultant fees.
  • You have the right to appeal any invoice you believe is incorrect.
