Hot Tub Moving in Aurora, Two Inspections After the Set

Aurora's hot tub permit needs no drawings, so what really sets the move date is the electrician's city license and the two inspections that follow.

Tell us where the tub is, where it is going and when. That is usually enough for us to tell you whether it goes on a dolly or needs a crane, and what has to be ready at the other end before it arrives.

Five short questions about the tub and the two spots, then where to reach you. Most people finish in under a minute.

Question 1What needs to happen to the tub?

Pick the closest. Anything unusual can go in the message at the end.

Question 2What kind of tub is it?

Size changes the equipment and the crew. A rough idea is fine.

Question 3How does the tub get out of where it is now?

Most tubs travel on their side on a spa dolly, so what matters is the narrowest point on the way to the street.

Question 4Is the new spot ready for it?

A tub that arrives before its circuit and its pad sits drained, and in a Colorado winter a drained tub can freeze. Removals can pick the last option.

Question 5When does it need to move?
Who you are, and where the tub is now

Who should we ask for?

How can we reach you?

We call to confirm the details before anyone is sent out.

Where is the property?

The contractor match is by property, not by person, so the street line matters.

Local Context

Aurora's no-drawings permit and the two inspections after it

You want the tub moved to the new Aurora house and passed, not moved and then waiting on a fix. The permit itself is the light part here: Aurora's home improvement permit table lists hot tubs and spas as needing a permit with no plan submittal, followed by a plumbing inspection and an electrical inspection. What catches people is who does the work. Aurora requires any contractor you hire to be licensed by the City of Aurora, and that includes the registered electrical contractor wiring the new circuit. We check that is lined up, then connect you with a vetted spa mover, licensed and insured.

Deciding

Aurora moves: license, inspections, and the base

What the tub sits on is the other Aurora decision. The city's design criteria put a residential deck at 40 pounds per square foot, while a filled Hot Spring Grandee works out to about 92, so a tub bound for an existing deck needs the deck looked at by someone qualified before the move is booked. If the new spot is still bare ground, that is the moment to choose between a pad and a reinforced deck, not after the tub arrives.

  1. Ask for the City of Aurora license

    Aurora requires hired contractors to be licensed by the city. Ask the electrician for the number before you set the move date.

  2. Two inspections, not one

    Plumbing and electrical inspections follow the set, so leave room in the week after moving day for both.

  3. Deck or slab

    Aurora designs residential decks for 40 pounds per square foot. A filled tub puts down more than twice that, so have a deck checked first.

Questions

Aurora hot tub moving questions

Do I need drawings to permit a hot tub in Aurora?

No. Aurora's permit table lists hot tubs and spas as needing a permit with no plan submittal. What follows is a plumbing inspection and an electrical inspection, so the work has to be ready for both.

Can any electrician reconnect my hot tub in Aurora?

They need to be a registered electrical contractor under Colorado law, and Aurora also requires hired contractors to be licensed by the city. Colorado warns that it is a violation of state law for anyone else but the homeowner to install an electrical project on your property. Ask for both before booking.

Next Step

Book the Aurora move once the circuit is lined up

Both addresses, the tub, and whether it is going on a deck or a slab. We connect you with a vetted spa mover, licensed and insured.
