About Pool/Spa Inspections
Swimming pools pose a unique mix of both potential health and safety dangers. Cobb County's Development and Inspections Division permits and inspects all new construction and remodel Commercial Pools and all Residential Pools to ensure all pools and spas are built to code and constructed in a safe manner.
Cobb & Douglas Public Health annually inspects public swimming pools (such as HOA or hotel swimming pools/spas) to ensure chemical levels are sufficient to protect bathers from most harmful organisms as well as ensure adequate safety equipment is present. Visit cobbanddouglaspublichealth.com for detailed information on annual public swimming pool procedures and requirements.
