Gulfport issues its own permits; homes inside city limits are not part of this ranking. Ranked by new inground pools built for homeowners (permits filed Nov 2025 - Oct 2026); pools that a home builder sells with a new house are not counted. Median job = the median value declared on those permits. All 5 areas = the builder's homeowner pools across Tampa, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Manatee. License = the state license shown on the permit. How we rank.

Decide what belongs in the outdoor space before asking for a total. Your Gulfport plan might emphasize a swimming lane, a shaded sitting area or a spa beside the deck. A company needs to see the property to price those choices and the work around them.
| Pool | Median permit value | Middle half of jobs | Permits | Data from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inground pool (no spa) | $66,900 | $55,000 - $79,800 | 44 | Gulfport and nearby ZIP codes outside city limits |
| Inground pool with spa | $107,700 | $84,700 - $127,800 | 50 | Pinellas County |
Values are what builders declared on public permits (job value at filing). They are local figures for information, not a quote: only a builder who sees your yard can price your pool.
The nearby-area pool-only filings have a $66,900 median declared permit value. The spa row uses Pinellas County's pool-with-spa median of $107,700. These describe filed project values for different groups of properties, rather than invoices for Gulfport backyards. The spa figure covers a whole pool-and-spa project. Subtracting the two numbers cannot tell you the charge for adding a spa to the design a builder will propose for your lot.
Use the yard visit to settle the parts that can disappear inside a short proposal. Ask how a fiberglass option compares with a concrete shell in dimensions and depth. Specify the coping, paver area and connection to the lanai. If a screen enclosure is on your list, get its scope written down as well. Clear choices let you compare each company's proposed work instead of trying to explain a difference between totals.
City of Gulfport Community Development is the permit office for a property within Gulfport. Have the builder confirm the parcel's jurisdiction and handle the pool application there. The official office link is the place to begin questions about the city's required submission.
Permit office: City of Gulfport Community Development
City of Gulfport Community Development permits are not part of this ranking; it uses Pinellas County (unincorporated + contract cities) permits for homes outside city limits in the Gulfport area. ZIP codes counted: 33707, 33701, 33702, 33703, 33704, 33705, 33710, 33711, 33712, 33713, 33716, 33714, 33709, 33762, 33773, 33781, 33782, 33772, 33777. Your builder pulls the permit; you can look it up afterwards by address.
County details and official sources: pool permits in Pinellas County.
For a county-served parcel in the surrounding area, Pinellas uses Pools and Spas with the Inground subtype. County requirements include digitally signed and sealed structural plans, a Safety Act Letter, electric company no-objection letters and a survey from the last five years with a site plan. Those are county requirements. For the Gulfport address where you plan to build, ask the company to obtain the instructions issued by the office serving that parcel.
Florida's residential pool safety law allows a barrier meeting the statute or listed alternatives, including certain covers and alarms. A complying barrier has to prevent young children from passing through, underneath or over it. Have the builder explain how the chosen arrangement works with your house openings and deck before the final. For city records, ask Community Development about finding the permit by address; county records can be searched publicly in Accela without signing in.
Ask for a sequence that reaches the final inspection, with enough detail to understand what decisions come first. The timing reference on this page measures county-served Pinellas projects. Use it as historical context while discussing the actual application and construction stages for your Gulfport address.
Pinellas County (unincorporated + contract cities): median 42 days from application to permit issue, 146 days from issue to final inspection, 186 days from application to final (sample of 60 finished pool permits).
Step by step: how long a pool takes.
In the sample of 60 completed Pinellas pool permits, application to issuance had a 42-day median. The median interval from issuance to final inspection was 146 days; the overall application-to-final measure was 186 days. The sample covers unincorporated county areas and contract cities. These separate historical medians do not establish a duration for a project submitted to Gulfport's office, so ask the bidder to explain its planned sequence for your property.
A drawing revision can affect what is ready to submit, just as summer storms can change the next outdoor task. Ask how the builder reports those changes and what it needs from you to keep decisions moving. If you hope to keep using part of the lanai during construction, raise that at the visit. Access and family use belong beside the construction milestones when you talk through how the work will unfold.
Start by matching the kind of pool in a row to the design on your sketch. The table orders companies by homeowner pool filings. A license check and three written quotes on the same plan turn that activity list into a practical hiring comparison.
Islandway Pools, LLC has 8 homeowner pool filings in the displayed area, with 7 pool-only and one with a spa. Pool Perfection LLC has 6, all pool-only. Use that contrast to ask what each proposal includes for your desired pool or spa combination. The finaled column adds recorded progress, not a workmanship score. Filing dates matter when reading it because recently filed projects have had less time to reach final status.
Put scope, payments and changes into the same written agreement. Florida requires a permit application within 30 days when a contractor receives an initial payment above 10 percent. The rule also calls for work to start within 90 days after permit issuance unless an exception applies. Have the bidder explain how the proposed contract connects payments with inspection milestones and how a revised deck or equipment choice gets approved in writing.
A mailing name can make a Gulfport search look puzzling at first. The area's ZIP is 33707, but the counted filings carry St Petersburg mailing labels. Give a bidder your complete address so the conversation starts at the correct property.
Forty-nine of the expanded area's 51 homeowner pool filings are at existing houses. That makes the yard already around the house a useful place to begin your sketch. Show the bidder the doors you use, the seating you hope to keep and the route to the proposed equipment. For an older home, ask how new coping and pavers would meet the patio instead of choosing a shell shape in isolation.
Pinellas Park and Largo are among the nearby towns linked on the page. Reading their records can help you find questions to ask, but bring every discussion back to your own Gulfport lot. Ask about soil assessment and groundwater if the property is near the coast. Include summer rain in the scheduling conversation, and bring any HOA documents that apply rather than assuming that nearby projects followed the same approval path.
Builders rank by new inground homeowner pools filed on public permits. Pools sold in a home builder's package are left out.
The contractor named on the permit gets the credit. Look up a permit by address to check its description, status and contractor.
Rankings are never paid. Partners only get a call button; their place in the table still comes from the pool permits.
Islandway Pools, LLC has 8 homeowner pool filings in the displayed area. Its recorded mix contains one pool with a spa alongside seven without spas. The count measures activity. Compare its proposed scope with other written offers and check the current contractor record before deciding who to hire.
The five counted permits for ZIP 33707 use St Petersburg as the mailing-city label. The page groups this local sample by ZIP rather than requiring the word Gulfport in the address. Share the full property address with bidders when discussing the yard and its permitting jurisdiction.
It supplies context from values declared on permits. The pool-only median is $66,900 from the nearby area, while the pool-with-spa median is $107,700 from Pinellas County. Only a bidder who reviews your yard and agreed design can provide a price for your project.
Have the builder explain the actual safety measure shown in the plan. Florida law lists a complying barrier and specific alternatives such as approved covers and qualifying alarms. Review the arrangement with house openings and deck access in mind before the final inspection stage.
