Avondale Planning Notes for Your Pool House or Pool Bath

Backyards behind Avondale's bungalows and Mediterranean Revival homes are often narrow and shaded by old oaks, so a design has to work around roots and canopy. Avondale lots near the river get more breeze, while interior blocks stay shaded under the canopy. Close neighbors make roof height and placement matter, so we check sightlines from next door as well as from your house.

Keeping the walk from the deck short and safe matters more than the size of the building. Before we draw a pool house or pool bath in Avondale, we check the walk from the deck, what goes inside and how it reads from the street.

Up to 80% of UV rays can get through clouds, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.

Approvals and Permits in Avondale

In Avondale, the City's historic review comes before the permit. Many applications are approved by staff, and larger ones go to the Jacksonville Historic Preservation Commission. For a pool house, review boards often want elevations and the distance from property lines. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

In Avondale, we file with the City of Jacksonville through JaxEPICS, record the Notice of Commencement for most permitted projects and schedule the inspections through final. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.
