Unincorporated Maricopa County
Pools and spas in Sun Lakes
Sun Lakes is an unincorporated community bordered by Chandler on the north and east. It is made up of five country club communities in three homeowner associations.
This is an independent referral guide. It connects homeowners with independent providers and may receive compensation. It is not a licensed contractor and it does not do the work.
Who issues permits
Since Sun Lakes is unincorporated, Maricopa County handles pool permits. The county requires the barrier permit to be issued before the barrier goes in, before plaster, and before the pool is filled.
County basics
- Any contained water more than 18 inches deep and/or wider than 8 feet needs a barrier.
- Pools cannot go in the required front yard.
- Pools have to be at least 3 feet from property lines.
The HOA
Check with your association before design. It may have its own rules on equipment, walls, and spas.
