The Spa permit covers things like proper grounding of anything metallic within 7(?) feet of the spa, and the use of NON tempered glass in the area of the spa, and the location of other electrical devices within reach of people in the spa.
IMHO, I would err on the side of safety, ask about the permit, then if they say yes it is required, talk to the building inspector so you do not get blindsided.
Hope this helps

PS, and this is a biggie, do NOT, repeat DO NOT rely of a spa installer to get the correct permits, I know from first hand experience.

Thanks, I live in Marion county and getting 115v cause my house already hardwired for it. If will still call or go talk to the authorities to make sure.
