What this form is
Ingleside on the Bay requires this certification as part of the residential pool/spa permit packet under the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC). The homeowner certifies which of two listed pool-area entry safeguards is installed and, in exchange, authorizes the building inspector to skip entering the residence during the final door-alarm inspection. Because the homeowner is certifying compliance and waiving an in-home inspection step, the city requires the signature to be notarized.
Who needs it
Any homeowner in Ingleside on the Bay installing a residential pool, spa, or hot tub who wants the inspector to skip the in-home door-alarm walkthrough.
Why it needs a notary
The form itself states the homeowner's signature must be notarized and includes a full acknowledgment block (state, county, before-me, notary seal, commission expiration).
