Pool Construction Permits in Round Rock

Local Rule

City of Round Rock Building Inspection Division

Round Rock genuinely spans both Williamson and Travis counties. A real distinctive detail: the city created its own separate swimming pool ordinance on June 25, 2021, making it the one member city that opts out of the Williamson County and Cities Health Department's regional swimming pool permit and inspection program that governs apartment and shared pools elsewhere in the county, instead regulating pools entirely through its own building department. Building Inspection Division: (512) 218-5550.
