If you are planning to add a pool or pond that is 24″ deep or more, you are required to submit for and obtain a building permit and have inspections.
Submit signed application and plans to the Building Department by email at building@herriman.org. If your plans are too large to email, please provide a shareable link to where we can download your plans from such as Dropbox, Google Drive or other online service.
Plan review will take approximately 10-15 working days, after which we may require corrections that need to be made to your plans. Permit fees are calculated based on the square footage of the pool. We will email invoices when fees are due. The permit will be issued after plans are approved and all fees are paid.
Pools require several inspections (see Required Inspections). This may not be a complete list since every pool is different. You must pass a final inspection prior to using the pool. Be aware that barriers around the pool and equipment are required with gates swinging away from the pool. You will also be required to comply with proper water disposal (see the Pool Water Disposal Guide from the Salt Lake County Health Department). Call the Building Department at 801-446-5327 at least one business day before you wish to schedule each inspection. You may ask for an hour block of time. An adult must meet the inspector at the property. When the work is completed and all inspections are approved, be sure to keep the plans, permit and inspection reports with your house records.
