Pool service in Highland Park

Pool builds and remodels in the Town need a contractor registered with Highland Park, which handles registration, permits and inspections through its OpenGov portal. Ask for the permit number before digging. Building in the floodplain needs a special Town permit, and the Town Engineer serves as Floodplain Administrator.

For equipment, TDLR says a Residential Appliance Installer License holder can replace pumps, motors, heaters, lights and automation on the load side of the control center, while a new or upgraded circuit needs a licensed electrical contractor. Routine cleaning is taxable: the Comptroller treats pool maintenance as a taxable service at homes too. Ask the Town whether a repair beyond cleaning needs a permit.

HomeGuide's national figures (September 2025) put weekly or bi-weekly cleaning at $80 to $150 a month and a first-time cleaning at $150 to $350, so get a written monthly quote from any Highland Park service you call. The full guide is on the Texas pool service page, the Highland Park page covers watering days, and Dallas pool service explains the rules across the Town line.
