Kennesaw sits in north Cobb County at the foot of Kennesaw Mountain, whose 1,808-foot summit is the highest point in metro Atlanta. The town began as Big Shanty, the staging ground for the Great Locomotive Chase in 1862, and today it is home to Kennesaw State University, the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History and Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. Neighborhoods here range from homes near historic downtown to newer subdivisions across the city.
Pool Permits in Kennesaw
Inside city limits, pools are permitted by City of Kennesaw Building Services at the Dale Burrell Government Complex on Moon Station Road, with applications submitted online. The city enforces the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code with Georgia amendments. Many homes with a Kennesaw address, including much of the Town Center area, are in unincorporated Cobb County, which has its own residential pool permit checklist. We confirm which office applies to your address, prepare the plans and coordinate inspections.
Gunite or Fiberglass in Kennesaw
A gunite pool is formed on site, so the shape, depth, steps, benches and spa are built to your design, and it can be stepped into a sloped yard with a raised spa that spills into the pool. A fiberglass pool from the Tallman Pools collection arrives as a finished shell, with a shorter build and a smooth, low-maintenance surface. We will compare cost and timeline for your yard and show the design in a 3D rendering before construction begins.
