Registering as a swimming pool cleaner

A contractor’s license is not required for individuals who are solely engaged in the cleaning and treatment of water in existing swimming pools. However, all such individuals are required to complete and submit a registration form to the Department's Contractor Licensing Section.

All registrations shall be valid for one year and expire on the last day of September. Annual renewal shall include verification of continued qualification for the registration.

As of March 15, 2012, all permit applications and plans submitted must comply with the 2010 FBC edition. Expired applications filed prior to March 15, 2012 will only be granted extensions for permits if certain criteria are met.
