Do I need a permit for a pool in Hillsborough?

Yes, permits are required. The Town of Hillsborough mandates permits for all new pools and significant remodels, including related electrical and plumbing work. We handle the entire permit application process for you, while the permit fees are paid directly by the homeowner.

Where are permits and zoning applications submitted in Hillsborough?

All applications are processed at the Hillsborough Planning and Building Department:

How long does the permitting process take?

Typical review times range from 4 to 7 weeks, depending on project size and complexity, as well as the town’s current workload. Hillsborough has strict design standards and zoning rules that may add time to the approval process, but our team’s expertise helps ensure smooth navigation.

What local zoning considerations affect pools in Hillsborough?

Hillsborough enforces detailed zoning regulations, designed to protect the town’s character and environment. Important considerations include:

Minimum setbacks: Pools must meet strict distance requirements from property lines and structures.
Maximum lot coverage: Limits on impervious surfaces to preserve open space.
Landscape and tree preservation: Special care for protected trees and native vegetation.
Noise control: Restrictions on pool equipment noise to maintain neighborhood peace.
Safety fencing: Required barriers around pools to meet local safety codes.

We work closely with the town to make sure your project meets all these requirements without surprises.

Can pool work continue through the winter months?

Yes. With the right planning and protective measures, our crews keep projects moving year-round. While rainy or very cold days can cause minor delays, winter construction is fully feasible in Hillsborough.

What is the expected duration for a pool remodel?

Surface-only resurfacing: Generally 7 to 10 business days.
Full remodels or upgrades: Typically 3 to 6 weeks, depending on scope.

Our project supervisors maintain tight schedules to deliver on time and with exceptional quality.

Is Adams Pool Solutions licensed and insured?

Yes, we carry all necessary California contractor licenses and maintain comprehensive insurance, including general liability, workers’ compensation, and bonding.
