Pool Construction Permits in Aurora
Local Rule
City of Aurora Building and Permits
Aurora genuinely spans four counties, Kane, DuPage, Kendall and Will, but issues a single building permit under its own home-rule code regardless of which county a parcel falls in. The city adopted the 2021 ISPSC directly as its own dedicated "Swimming Pool and Spa Code of the City of Aurora." A real distinctive administrative rule: exterior pool work permitted to a homeowner acting as their own contractor must be completed within one year of permit issuance, with only one allowed six-month extension at the full original permit fee if work is not finished in time.
