I was wondering about who would have to approve any changes to the outside of a home.

Also wondering if it would be possible to add a hot tub? Would be nice to add a pool but I'm assuming that is not allowed unless you're building new on one of the bigger lots.
We have had a hot tub in our lanai (now moved to the birdcage) for around 10 years. If you are in Sumter county, there are 2 permits required, one for the spa (hot tub) and one for the electrical work. NOTE: the spa permit covers any glass within 5 feet of the spa location, and proper grounding of the spa and near by metal. The electrical will cover the new service, and disconnect (assuming a 240 volt supply), as well as the removal of any other electrical sources within 5 feet of the spa.
DO NOT RELY or the spa provider/installer to get these, been there done that got burned!
Feel free to send me a PM if you would like to discuss further over the phone.
