Do I Need a Permit for Pool Screen Repairs?

If your pool screen enclosure is damaged and needs repairs, you might be wondering: Do I need a permit? The answer depends on the extent of the repair and your local building regulations. Here’s what you need to know.

When You DON’T Need a Permit

In most Florida counties, you do not need a permit if you’re:
Replacing screen mesh (no structural changes)
Repairing minor damage like small rips or holes
Replacing a few sections of screen panels

When You MAY Need a Permit

You might need a permit if your repair involves:
Replacing or modifying the frame of your pool enclosure
Major structural changes (e.g., enlarging or reinforcing the structure)
Installing a brand-new enclosure

How to Check Your Local Requirements

Permit rules vary by county and city, so it’s best to check with your local building department. Many Florida counties offer permit information online or through a quick phone call.
