Swimming Pool & Hot Tub Permit

A building permit is required prior to construction of all in-ground swimming pools, hot tubs and similar structures that are built in New Iberia. Portable spas that simply plug in may not require a pool and tub permit, though they may require an electrical permit. Once a complete set of plans for the construction is approved by the New Iberia Inspection Department a pool and tub permit will be issued. The cost of the permit is $5.00 per $1000 valuation of the construction with a minimum of $25.00. Additional permits, such as electrical permits, may be required before the construction can begin.

For more information about swimming pool and hot tub permits and fees, contact the Inspection Department located at 457 E. Main Street, Room 412, from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm, Monday through Friday, or call the department at (337) 369-2354.
