Terms of Use

Updated October 30, 2026 · Tampa Bay Pool Guide

The site connects homeowners with pool builders and provides rankings drawn from public permit records.

These terms describe the service, the limits of the information and your role in choosing a builder. Your agreement for a pool is directly with the builder you hire. Questions about these terms go through the contact page, and changes are posted here with the updated date.

The short version

The builder you hire handles your contract, price, permit and work; you make your own hiring decision.
Public permit rankings show recorded activity and are not endorsements; the data can be incomplete or delayed.
Check licenses and compare quotes before contracting directly with a builder for the pool you choose.

What the site provides

The site connects homeowners with pool builders. It provides builder information and a way to request quotes. Pool design, pricing, permitting and construction are handled by the builder a homeowner hires, who is responsible for the contract and work.

Using the directory or sending a quote request connects you with builders; it does not make the site responsible for your pool project. The site provides no assurance of a pool's outcome. The builder you choose handles the contract, price, permit and work. Take the project details and the terms for that work directly to the builder you hire.

Public records and ranking limits

Rankings come from public permit records. They are not endorsements of the builders listed. Public data can be incomplete or delayed, so the information shown on the site has limits as a basis for your hiring decision.

Use the rankings as information about recorded permit activity while making your own choice of builder. A place in the list does not represent an endorsement by the site. Incomplete or delayed records can affect what is shown. Check licenses and compare quotes as part of deciding who you want to hire and what contract you want to enter.

Your decision and builder contract

You make your own decisions about which builders to contact and hire. Contracts are made directly with builders. Check licenses and compare quotes before choosing who will handle the contract, price, permit and work for your pool.

The directory and quote request are ways to connect with pool builders. Your project agreement is with the builder, and that builder is responsible for the work covered by the contract. Direct your questions about the pool's design, price and permitting to the builder you hire. The site does not take over those project responsibilities through a listing or request.

Network participation and ranking order

Builders in the network pay referral fees on completed pools. Rankings are never paid. The financial arrangement for network participation does not change the public permit records on which rankings are based or turn a listing into an endorsement.

Read network participation and the permit ranking as separate pieces of information. Fees apply to completed pool referrals, while rankings come from public permit records. The listing remains information for your own decision. You still choose who to contact, check licenses, compare quotes and enter a contract directly with the builder you decide to hire for the pool.

Links to outside websites

Links to permit offices, Florida DBPR and statutes take you to third-party websites. Those websites are governed by their own terms. Their terms apply to your use of those sites when you follow a link from this directory.

The terms on this page describe this site's service and use. A permit office's website, the Florida DBPR website and a website publishing statutes each have their own terms governing that website. Read the terms provided there when using those resources. Following a link from a builder listing or information page brings you to that separate website and its terms.

Content and liability limits

Site content is provided as is, without warranties. Liability is limited to the extent the law allows. These limits apply to the site content and service described here, alongside the stated limits of public permit data and builder rankings.

Public permit information can be incomplete or delayed, and a ranking is not an endorsement. Use the content with those limits in mind when making your own decisions. The builder you hire remains responsible for the contract, price, permit and work. The site's liability is limited only to the extent allowed by law, and its content is provided without warranties.

Acceptable use of the site and forms

Do not scrape the site in a way that harms it. Do not submit false requests in someone else's name. These rules apply to use of the directory and the forms that connect homeowners with pool builders.

The acceptable-use rules address harmful scraping and false requests made in another person's name. Use the site's quote and contact forms in keeping with those rules. The forms provide a route to connect with builders or send questions about the site. A request made through them does not change the builder's responsibilities or create a pool contract with the site.

Changes and questions

Changes to these terms are posted on this page with the updated date. Send questions through the contact page. This is the place to read the terms describing the directory, quote requests, public data limits and acceptable use.

When these terms change, the changes and updated date are posted here. Use the contact page for questions about the terms or the site. Questions about a pool contract, its price, permit or work belong with the builder you hire, because your project agreement is directly with that builder. Choosing a listing or sending a request leaves that responsibility with the builder.
