What a concrete pool deck contractor in Port Orange has to put on the survey
The city doesn't treat a pool deck as an afterthought. Any residential permit that changes the outside dimensions of a lot, pools included, needs a certified survey. It also needs a site development plan drawn at 1 inch to 20 feet for lots up to an acre. That plan shows every existing and proposed driveway, sidewalk and patio with its material, size and distance to the lot lines. The grading plan then adds finish elevations for floors, patios, driveways, the street crown and the lot corners.
The city's SmartGov portal won't accept a partial file. The residential checklist goes up complete, or the application doesn't get processed. Start before the permit is issued and the city's flyer says you pay double the application fee under Code Sec. 14-48. So we build the plan package with you, pull the permit, and set no forms until the city says go. Pick a private provider for plan review, and the city requires private inspections too.
Eight feet from the pool and five feet from the line
Small yards get tight at the city's special setback table. A swimming pool sits 8 ft off the property line. A screen pool enclosure sits 5 ft off. An at-grade patio also sits 5 ft off the line, in rear and side yards only. No special setback can eat more than half of the minimum yard. We confirm with the Building Division which line applies to your deck.
Lots here aren't big. Volusia County's parcel data puts the median single-family lot with a recorded acreage at about 0.2 acre, or roughly 8,700 sq ft. A 500 sq ft deck is about 6 percent of that, yet the setbacks decide where those 500 feet can land. About 767 single-family parcels run an acre or more, and those yards have room for a bigger deck and a different layout. Bring your survey. We'll draw the deck on it before you commit to anything. Our pool deck page shows everything else we pour beside the water.
