Under Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 15.110, no construction, alteration, or remodeling permit may be issued for a private residential swimming pool unless the pool meets the safety and design regulations established in § 15.109 of Article VI. This provision acts as a gatekeeping mechanism, tying the permit approval process directly to compliance with the underlying pool regulations. A permit application that does not demonstrate conformance with § 15.109 must be denied.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers in Bloomington who wish to build, alter, or remodel a private residential pool must ensure their plans fully conform with the standards set out in § 15.109 before a permit under § 15.110 can be issued. Compliant operators typically review the Article VI regulations in detail and incorporate all required specifications into their permit applications before submission. Submitting plans that do not meet § 15.109 standards will result in permit denial, delaying any construction timeline.

Under § 15.110, tenants living in residential properties with pools—or properties where a pool is being added or modified—have an interest in knowing that no permit should have been granted unless the pool conforms with § 15.109 standards. If a pool appears to have been constructed or altered without a proper permit, tenants may contact the City of Bloomington's relevant permitting or code enforcement office to inquire about compliance. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local housing codes can also help residents understand what options may be available when unpermitted pool work is a concern.
