Cost and timing
All pool jobs in Austin: $53,000 to $113,000
Half of 595 city permits list an amount in this range. Permit amounts are often lower than what you pay.
- New pools in Austin: $50,000 to $125,000 (333 permits)
- Spas and hot tubs in Austin: $65,000 to $126,000 (275 permits)
How to read this range
Contractors write a job value on the permit form, and the city uses it to set the permit fee. It is not the contract price, and it is often lower than what you pay. A quarter of the permits list less than this range, and a quarter list more. Use it to see if a quote is in the normal range.
Permit timeline
Across Austin, a pool permit stays open about about 9 months, from permit to final inspection
This is not how long the crew works at your home: most of it is waiting for the inspection. Ask them how many days the work takes. Waiting for the permit adds about 66 days. How long pool jobs take.
