Fernandina Beach is the northern tip of our service area, and a pool address here falls under one of three review processes: the city with Historic District Council review downtown, the county for the rest of Amelia Island and Yulee, or a private review board inside a community like Amelia Island Plantation. We design pools and cages specified for salt air in every case.

What the homes and lots are like in Fernandina Beach

Downtown Fernandina Beach, inside the local historic district, is built around Victorian era homes on small in-town lots, most platted well before pools were common and with little room to spare once setbacks and the historic footprint are accounted for. A pool here is almost always a compact custom shape shoehorned into a small backyard.

South of downtown, the Omni Amelia Island resort area, American Beach, and Summer Beach represent a different scale: larger oceanfront and Intracoastal lots from the 1970s through the 2000s, many inside Amelia Island Plantation with its own private review structure. American Beach carries particular historical weight as a beach community rooted in the island's Black history. West of the island, Yulee is unincorporated mainland with a newer, more straightforward mix of subdivisions.

Who permits a pool in Fernandina Beach?

Inside Fernandina Beach city limits, the City of Fernandina Beach Building Department issues the pool permit through its online portal. In the Downtown and Old Town local historic districts, the Historic District Council reviews site changes, including pools, decks, and lighting, under Chapter 8 of the land development code, and a Certificate of Appropriateness has to be issued before the building permit is released.

Outside city limits, on the rest of Amelia Island and across Yulee, the Nassau County Building Department has jurisdiction, with its own checklist that requires verifying whether the lot sits in a flood hazard area before the pool permit is issued. Inside Amelia Island Plantation, a private Architectural Review Board reviews pools, decks, patios, and lighting under community design standards before the county will accept the application.

Because three separate review paths can apply on this one island, from HDC downtown to county to a private ARB, confirming the correct one for a specific parcel is our first step.

What else to know about building here

Salt air reaches every part of this market, not just the oceanfront, since Amelia Island sits between the ocean and the Intracoastal. We specify 316 stainless for handrails, ladders, and fasteners and marine-grade powder coated aluminum for enclosures on nearly every project here.

Oceanfront and Intracoastal lots commonly fall in FEMA Zone VE or AE, which affects deck and equipment pad elevation, and Nassau County's permit checklist requires that verification before a pool permit is issued. The island also carries a tree protection ordinance affecting clearing for a pool footprint, particularly on wooded Amelia Island Plantation and Summer Beach lots.
