Do I need a permit for swimming pool or spa in Harrison?
Most likely yes. Swimming pool or spa usually requires a permit in Arkansas. Confirm the specifics with Harrison.
The Arkansas Department of Health does not regulate single-family residential pools, and residential fence requirements vary by local ordinance. The state plumber's law does not cover pool piping beyond an approved backflow preventer (ACA 17-38-105(2)); pool wiring follows the state electrical code. Arkansas has no statewide residential permit office: building permits come from a city or town (or a county that chose to run a program), so the first question is which local office, if any, covers the address.
Local detail for Harrison: Code enforcement moved into the Fire Department's Community Risk Reduction Division, which now handles building permits and inspections; it is no longer under Public Works.
