Yes, you need a permit for a pool in Nashville — and we handle it for you. As your licensed general contractor, Wallaby Pools prepares and submits the permit application with your county, using the manufacturer's stamped engineering drawings for your model. Below you can download those drawings (Tennessee-stamped structural sheets) for your records, your designer, or your own review, plus the installation guide.
How permitting works with a precast pool
Because Plungie pools are pre-engineered and arrive with stamped structural drawings, the permit review is usually more straightforward than a custom poured-in-place pool, where everything is engineered from scratch. We map the pool to your site, submit the drawings and application, and coordinate the barrier/fence and electrical requirements that go with a pool. You don't have to learn the county process — that's our job.
What you can download here

Permitting FAQs
Do I need a permit for a pool in Nashville?
Yes — a pool in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee needs a permit, and typically barrier/fence and electrical requirements apply. The good news is we handle the permit application with your county as part of the project, so you don't have to navigate it alone.
Who pulls the pool permit?
We do. As your licensed general contractor, Wallaby Pools prepares and submits the permit application for your county, using the stamped engineering drawings for your model. You're welcome to download those drawings here for your records or your designer.
What are the engineering drawings for?
The stamped structural drawings (Tennessee) show the pool's engineering for permitting and site prep — they're what the county reviews and what guides the slab and set. We provide the drawing set for the model you choose.
How long does pool permitting take in Nashville?
It varies by county and workload, but because precast pools use pre-engineered, stamped drawings, the review is usually more straightforward than a custom poured pool. We'll give you a realistic timeline for your address.
