Tips

  • Seasonal pools get their own dedicated application form (separate from the general Residential Permit Application), but are billed under the same general valuation-based fee table — there is no separate flat seasonal-pool fee published.
  • Like all residential-lot permits, seasonal pool permits are statutorily exempt from Arizona's A.R.S. § 9-835 review-timeframe disclosure requirement, so no review-day figure is published by the Town.
