Planning a pool construction project in Orlando or nearby?

A new pool project in Orange County is more than the shell — the deck slab, equipment pad, elevated or raised features and the screen enclosure all need structural engineering and a permit. We prepare the sealed package Orange County Fast Track (ePlan) electronic review needs to approve it.

Do you need a permit for a pool construction in Orange County?

In Orange County, a pool build almost always needs PE-stamped structural engineering for the parts around the water: the deck slab and footings, any raised beam or elevated deck, the equipment pad, and the screen enclosure (pool cage) if one is included. The cage in particular is a tall, wind-loaded structure that Orange County Fast Track reviews closely. Confirm the specifics with Orange County Fast Track (ePlan) electronic review before you build.

Wind & structure in Orange County

139 mph
Ultimate design wind speed (Vult) under ASCE 7-22 — Exposure B for most inland lots. Governs the pool cage and any raised deck.

The pool shell is one piece; the structures around it are another. At Orange County's 139 mph design wind speed the screen enclosure and any elevated deck develop real loads, and the deck slab and footings have to carry everything on Orange County's soil. We engineer all of it into one sealed package so the whole project clears review together.
