Decision — first matching row wins
| # | When | Permit | Type | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | motorized is yes | yes | Electrical Permit | An automatic cover's motor and control circuit is permitted electrical work. |
| 2 | otherwise | no | — | Installing an ASTM F1346-compliant safety cover is not itself structural work and is not separately permitted — it's commonly used AS an alternative barrier method under FS 515 rather than a permit trigger. It does not substitute for a code-compliant barrier unless the authority accepts it as the sole barrier for that pool; confirm before relying on a cover alone. |
