Pools, Hot Tubs, and Spas

A swimming pool, hot tub, or spa may be located within a side or rear yard behind the rear building line provided it is no closer than five feet to the property line. Though permits are required from the Building Division, review by the Planning Division is only required if the pool, hot tub, or spa is located in an environmentally sensitive area such as near a stream, wetland, slope, or landslide. For additional information please contact the Planning Division at 503.783.3800 or [email protected].
