Local Rules
Do I need a permit to remove an in-ground pool in Florida?
Usually, yes. Most Palm Beach and Broward building departments require a permit to demolish and fill an in-ground pool, and some inspect the backfill. All Out Rubbish handles the demolition permit — text the address to (561) 345-9808.
Electrical and gas lines to the pool equipment must be safely disconnected.
Some cities require a final inspection before the permit is closed.
HOAs may have their own approval rules.
