Tennessee pool regulation snapshot
Public pools are licensed and inspected by the Tennessee Department of Health (TDH) under the Hotel, Food Service Establishment and Public Swimming Pool Inspection Act (T.C.A. Title 68, Ch. 14, Part 3) and rule chapter 1200-23-05. Five "contract counties" (including Nashville/Davidson) run their own programs. Residential pools fall under the State Fire Marshal's building code where the state enforces it, or under local codes. Tennessee is unusual in requiring a pool alarm on new residential pools (Katie Beth's Law).
Health and operating oversight
Regulator: TDH, Division of Environmental Health (General Environmental Health program). The contract counties (Davidson, Hamilton, Knox, Madison, Shelby) do their own inspections, permitting and enforcement. Metro Nashville has its own ordinance, Metro Code Ch. 10.48, plus the Metro Public Health Dept. "Regulations for the Design, Construction and Operation of Public Pools" (last revised Dec. 14, 1999).
Building-code path
Building code: The State Fire Marshal's Office adopted codes effective April 17, 2025:; 2018 IRC with amendments for residential construction; 2021 IBC, IFC and IPC; 2018 IECC for one- and two-family homes; NEC 2017 with state exceptions Many cities and counties enforce their own adopted codes.
