Floyd County raises swimming-pool permit fees in FCO 2025-19; private pools exempt from inspections
Summary
The county adopted FCO 2025-19 to address rising follow-up inspections and supply costs; annual permits increased from $60 to $125 and short-term permits increased from $30 to $75. The board approved the ordinance unanimously.
Anthony Lieber explained that the county has seen an increase in follow-up inspections and higher supply costs, and that staff reviewed comparable counties when proposing new fees. "The permit fees went from $60.00 yearly to $125.00 and 60 months or less it went from $30.00 to $75.00," Lieber said, and the board adopted FCO 2025-19 by unanimous vote.
Lieber also clarified that inspections are not required for private pools under the ordinance. The fee increases were presented as an alignment with neighboring counties' practices and to cover rising program costs; no amendments or opposition were recorded in the meeting minutes.
