Source: Pinellas County (unincorporated + contract cities) permit records for Seminole-area ZIP codes (33772, 33777). Seminole 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.

Read the pool and spa columns with their geography in mind. The pool-only median reflects the area sample; the spa column uses county records. For your own comparison, put the dimensions, coping, pavers and equipment into a common scope before asking for totals.
| Pool | Median permit value | Middle half of jobs | Permits | Data from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inground pool (no spa) | $67,400 | $53,700 - $79,600 | 25 | Seminole-area 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 Seminole-area pool-only median declared value is $67,400 across 25 permits. For pools with spas, the table uses Pinellas County's $107,700 median from 50 permits. The numbers measure what applicants declared, not what homeowners ultimately paid. Ask the bidder to show a spa as an option on your proposed pool rather than using the difference between these groups as a spa price.
If the aim is family swimming with room for chairs, draw both uses before the visit. Ask how a fiberglass shell or a concrete design would fit that plan, and keep proposed depth and dimensions visible in the quotes. Access, soil and groundwater need a site conversation. A builder who has reviewed the property can price its scope, including the enclosure or deck finishes you choose to add.
Confirm the office serving your parcel before the builder assembles application documents. The official office link gives you the starting point for your address. Have the company you hire handle the filing and provide a record number you can keep with the contract.
Permit office: City of Seminole Building
City of Seminole Building permits are not part of this ranking; it uses Pinellas County (unincorporated + contract cities) permits for homes outside city limits in the Seminole area. ZIP codes counted: 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 parcels served by Pinellas County, a new residential pool is filed as Pools and Spas with an Inground subtype. The county requires a Safety Act Letter and electric company no-objection letters. Structural plans must have an architect's or engineer's digital signature and seal. Ask which property records you should gather, and keep the list tied to the office actually processing the application for your yard.
You can follow a county permit by searching the property address in public Accela, without logging in. The record shows the project description, contractor and status. For a city project, ask the office linked on the page how to locate its record by address. Florida's pool safety law provides barrier and other listed options. A complying barrier has outward-opening gates that close and latch themselves; discuss how the selected arrangement fits the design.
Planning the deck and equipment early helps you ask useful schedule questions. The county timing note describes completed permits, while your builder needs to explain the stages for your Seminole property. Talk through readiness to file, construction access and the path to final inspection.
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.
The reference sample includes 60 finished county-served Pinellas pool permits. Application to final inspection had a 186-day median; the application-to-issue median was 42 days, and issue to final was 146 days. These are county measures, including contract-city records. Their separate medians do not add into a schedule. Use them to ask the company which dates depend on paperwork and which depend on the property work.
For a pool beside an occupied home, get specific about when the access route is needed and how you will use the remaining outdoor space. A planned spa spillover or screen enclosure should be discussed before the design is settled. Ask what happens if those choices change later. The written sequence should help you understand how drawings, approvals and construction relate, with progress updates when the assumptions change.
The pool-versus-spa breakdown can sharpen your first call. Look at it before reading a builder's wider activity and finaled share. Then verify the license and request three written proposals from a shared drawing, with the same deck and equipment described in each.
Islandway Pools, LLC filed 6 area homeowner pools and PCS Pools LLC filed 4, all without spas in these rows. Tropical Pools and Pavers LLC filed 2, one with a spa and one without. Those differences show the recorded project mix. They do not identify workmanship standards. Likewise, the finaled percentage reflects the status of filings and gives newer projects less elapsed time to reach completion.
Keep changes to the shell, spa or deck in writing so the quote comparison stays clear through signing. Under Florida's deposit rule, an initial payment over 10 percent requires the contractor to apply for permits within 30 days. Work must start within 90 days after permits are issued unless an exception applies. Discuss the actual plan and inspection milestones for your contract separately from those legal requirements.
The mailing name Seminole appears across the town-ZIP filings, but the particular lot still drives the design. Bring a yard sketch with the lanai connection, furniture space and access path. Ask each bidder to describe a pool that leaves those everyday uses workable.
Homeowner pools by ZIP code: 33772 (18), 33777 (9).
ZIP 33772 accounts for 18 homeowner pools and 33777 for 9. Of the 27 pools, 26 were additions at existing homes and one accompanied a newly built house. For an existing yard, take measurements around the patio before choosing the shell shape. Show the bidder the features you intend to keep and the places where people will pass, sit or step out from the house.
A neighboring permit gives you a company name to research, but your property needs its own access and ground assessment. Discuss soil and water conditions in general terms and ask what the company needs to establish on the lot. If an HOA applies, have its pool documents ready for the design conversation. The nearby Pinellas Park and Lealman pages can add perspective when you want more companies to compare.
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 6 area homeowner pool filings, followed by PCS Pools LLC with 4. Each company's listed projects here are pool-only. Ask about the scope you want, then check the license and compare written proposals before deciding who should handle your pool.
The $107,700 figure is a Pinellas County median for complete pool-with-spa permits. It is not a spa add-on charge. The area pool-only median is $67,400. Ask the bidder to price the spa as an option on your own drawing after reviewing the yard.
Ask which Florida safety option is shown on the design and how it will be addressed at final inspection. If a barrier is chosen, state law requires at least 4 feet of outside height and specifies gate and opening protections. Other statutory safety options are also available.
The 186-day application-to-final median describes 60 finished county-served pool permits. It supplies context rather than a date for your project. Ask the company to explain how design readiness, approvals, revisions and outdoor work fit the sequence proposed for your own property.
