Highlands Ranch moves: size, screening, then approvals
The order of approvals is the other thing that sets a Highlands Ranch move date. Douglas County issues the permit, because Highlands Ranch is a census-designated place rather than a town, and the county recommends getting HOA or architectural committee approval before applying. So the association sees the spot and the screening first, then the county, then the registered electrical contractor wires it under the county permit and the mover sets the tub.
Measure against 8 by 8
A tub over 8 feet on either side is a conversation with the Highlands Ranch Community Association before it is a move.
Screened and 5 feet off the line
The new spot has to be in a side or rear yard, 5 feet off any property line and screened from neighbors, so allow for a fence or planting if the yard is open.
Association before county
Douglas County recommends HOA approval before the permit application, so start with the architectural committee.
HRCA's hot tub limits and Douglas County's order of approvals
The Highlands Ranch Community Association's Residential Improvement Guidelines say hot tubs may not exceed 8 feet by 8 feet, must be in side or rear yards at least 5 feet off any property line, and must be screened so they are not immediately visible to neighbors, and that architectural committee approval may be required.

What hot tub moving involves in Highlands Ranch
Will your tub fit the Highlands Ranch 8 by 8 foot cap?
You want to know the tub is allowed at the new Highlands Ranch house before you pay to move it there. Size is the first test. The community association's guidelines cap a hot tub at 8 feet by 8 feet, keep it in a side or rear yard at least 5 feet off any property line, and require screening so it is not immediately visible to neighbors. Some large tubs run over 8 feet on a side: Hot Spring lists its Grandee at 8 feet 4 inches by 7 feet 7 inches. Check yours against the limit, and once it fits we connect you with a vetted spa mover, licensed and insured.
Does the new Highlands Ranch yard have screening?
Tell us whether the spot is side or rear yard and what the neighbors can see. We will tell you what the association's guidelines ask for before a mover is booked.
Highlands Ranch hot tub moving questions
Do I need HOA approval to move my hot tub to a Highlands Ranch house?
Plan on it. HRCA's guidelines say architectural committee approval may be required, and Douglas County recommends getting it before you apply for the permit. Approval first means the county application shows a spot the association has already accepted.
Which office issues the hot tub permit in Highlands Ranch?
Douglas County. Highlands Ranch is a census-designated place, not an incorporated town, so there is no town building department. The registered electrical contractor wiring the new circuit works under the county's permit.
Move the tub into Highlands Ranch in the right order
The tub size, the yard and your date. We connect you with a vetted spa mover, licensed and insured, once the association and county steps are clear.
