Tips

  • Ivins charges a flat $300 Pool Permit Fee, separate from and in addition to the general valuation-based Building Permit fee structure used for dwellings.
  • Review the official Swimming Pool Packet (published on Ivins City's Forms page) before submittal — it lists barrier/fencing and drain-safety requirements specific to the city's adoption of the ISPSC residential provisions; the statewide-governing edition is now the 2024 ISPSC, effective July 1, 2026 (superseded the 2021 edition) — confirm the Swimming Pool Packet itself has been updated to reflect this with the Building/Zoning Department at (435) 634-9753.

The 2021 IRC and 2023 NEC were unaffected and remain in force. Because Ivins Ordinance No. 2025-08 adopts the state code by reference rather than restating specific editions, Ivins is not expected to have a separate city-document lag of the kind seen in some sibling cities — this was not independently re-verified against the amlegal-hosted Ivins Code text this session (that site's full ordinance text is not renderable via automated fetch, per the localAmendments entry above).. Local amendments apply — see the Ivins overview page for the full list.
