Plans
Standard pool plans
Scottsdale lets builders get structural plans approved once and reuse them. Knowing whether your builder has one helps you read the timeline.
This is an independent referral guide. It connects homeowners with independent providers and may receive compensation. It is not a licensed contractor and it does not do the work.
How it works
The city says it will accept pool structural plans and calculations so a builder can create a Standard Plan. Once approved, the builder only needs to list the plan review number on the site plan when applying.
What the city says it saves
The city says this reduces fees and the time to obtain permits.
What still gets submitted
A site plan for your lot, showing setbacks, easements, the barrier, access, and staging.
Ask your builder
Do you have an approved Standard Plan, and does my design fit it?
