Swimming Pools

 

We license and inspect public indoor and outdoor swimming pools and water attractions to keep you safe and healthy.

How to get your public pool licensed

To apply for a license for a new pool or when there is a change of ownership:

 

Step 1:  Complete and submit a Permit License Application and pay fees to Environmental Health. 

 

Step 2:  Contact La Crosse County Environmental Health at 608-785-9771 or by email to [email protected] to schedule a pre-licensing inspection.

 

Step 3:  Once the application is submitted, fees are paid, and pre-licensing inspection is completed, a permit will be issued.

 

If you have any questions, call us at 608-785-9771 or email us at [email protected].
