The Florida Department of Health regulates all public pools and bathing places as defined in Chapter 64E-9 of the Florida Administrative Code. This regulation is considered a significant factor in the prevention of disease, sanitary nuisances, and accidents.
All proposed new construction and modifications to existing pools require approval from the Hernando County Development Department. Annual operating permits issued by the Florida Department of Health in Hernando County are valid from July 1 through June 30. These permits must be applied for and renewed annually.
