Pool Construction Permits in Clarksville

Local Rule

Montgomery County Building and Codes (serves Clarksville)

Clarksville is Montgomery County's county seat and only incorporated municipality, and the county's own Building and Codes Department confirms a pool permit is required for all in-ground and above-ground pools. A real distinctive sequencing rule: a Barrier Permit must be pulled by the property owner BEFORE a Pool Permit will be issued, reversing the more common order seen elsewhere. A real specific technical detail from the department's own pool requirements: pool cleaner fittings must be located at least 6 inches and not more than 12 inches below the operational water level.
