Permits
Setback
The minimum distance a pool, structure, or wall must be from a property line — set by city code and often tightened by HOA rules.
Most Valley cities require a 5-ft pool-edge setback from the side and rear property lines, though some HOAs require 7–10 ft. Setbacks also apply to equipment pads, ramadas, and casitas. Always verify both city and HOA setbacks before finalizing a design.
