For the last decade, we at River Inground-Pools-Virginia-HanoverPools and Spas have installed well over 75 fiberglass pools throughout the county of Hanover in Virginia.

Through this experience, we've also had to deal with their county many, many times when getting pool permits passed through the zoning and building departments. So for those of you looking to get a swimming pool in Hanover Co., here are a few things to know:

Hanover County - Virginia Pools Setbacks:

  • From well/septic the pool must be at least 20' away
  • From property lines it must be at leasat 8' away
  • From house it must be 10' away

To apply for the permit, you'll need (3) plats, (2) sets of pool plans, a contractor's license, a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act Program Application Form, and Erosion and Sediment Control Program application. Also, keep in mind that when you apply for the swimming pool permit in Hanover, you must get approval from the health department first. Keep in mind also the electrical permit typically takes 5 days to receive.

River Pools® manufactures fiberglass pool shells and does not install pools. Pools are installed by locally owned and operated dealers and franchisees. The relationship between the dealers and franchisees to River Pools® is that of an independent contractor. River Pools Franchising LLC (Franchising) provides independently owned and operated River Pool franchisees with the right to market the River Pools brand of pool shells as a franchisee. Franchising does not manufacture pool shells. Due to the unprecedented and historic growth of the River Pools brand, this website contains an abundance of information that has been created over the last decade. Some of the content on this site may reflect prices, perspectives, processes, entities, and names that were relevant at the time but may not be as relevant today.

Consumers should consult their local installer (independent dealer or franchisee) for the most accurate and updated information based on the unique conditions of their property. Consumers should verify specifications with the installing dealer rather than relying on the information on this website, which is not intended to be a final specification.
