  1. The city issues a new pool permit.

  2. We match it to your ZIP cluster.

  3. You get a morning email with the property address, issue date, and pool builder — while the homeowner is still choosing who builds the fence.

Why the timing works

Austin’s pool code (the ISPSC, adopted as the City’s Swimming Pool and Spa Code) requires a barrier around every pool, with self-closing, self-latching gates (§305).

Standard pool-builder contracts leave the permanent fence to the homeowner.
