Was the pool permitted and inspected?

The City of Plano reviews and inspects new and remodeled home pools and spas. It does this through its swimming pool safety and inspections program. Ask the seller for the permit and final inspection. This matters most for a pool, spa or fence added after the house was built.

Check that every gate to the pool area closes and latches on its own. Make sure the fence has no gaps a child could get through.

What should a pool inspection cover on an older home?

Expansive clay soils are common in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. As they swell and shrink, they can stress slabs, decks and pool shells. Ask a pool inspector to check the shell, tile line, decking, plumbing leaks and equipment age.

Review foundation repair records at the same time. A leaking pool or sprinkler line can wet the soil on one side of the house.

Do state law and HOA rules apply?

Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 757 sets pool-yard rules for apartment complexes and property owners' association pools. It does not cover private backyards. For a private pool, the city's adopted code and your HOA's deed restrictions apply.

Tell your insurer about the pool. Ask about liability limits and the wind and hail deductible. Browse Plano homes for sale or read the Plano community guide to narrow your area.
