Building a Pool in Sanford: What to Know

Permitting in Sanford

Homes inside city limits are permitted through the City of Sanford, while unincorporated addresses go through Seminole County. We confirm the right office for your property and take care of the permit and inspections.

Building near the water

Properties close to Lake Monroe and the St. Johns River can have a higher water table, which affects how a pool is excavated and built. We plan for groundwater during the dig so the shell is built on solid footing.

Historic district homes

If your home is in Sanford’s historic district, exterior changes may need additional review. We’ll help you plan a pool, deck and enclosure that fits the character of the home and the approval process.

Our Pool Building Process

Here’s how a pool project with Gulfstream works, start to finish.

1. Free consultation. We visit your home, look at the yard and talk through how you want to use the pool and what you want to spend.
2. Custom design. We design the pool, spa, deck and features around your lot and show you the plan before anything is built.
3. Permits and approvals. We prepare the plans, pull the permit and provide what your HOA needs for approval.
4. Construction. Layout, excavation, steel, plumbing, shell, tile, decking, equipment and finish, with inspections along the way.
5. Startup and walkthrough. We start up the pool, balance the water and show you how to run the equipment.
