The Westminster order: spot, one permit, then the mover
The order of a Westminster move is set by one rule. The city will not issue a separate electrical permit for a hot tub, not even for a pre-wire, so the circuit cannot be run ahead while the rest of the install waits. One permit covers the wiring, the installation and the barrier or cover. File it before the tub is drained at the old house, and book the mover for a date the registered electrical contractor can meet under that permit.
No pre-wire on its own
Westminster folds the electrical into the single hot tub permit, so the circuit is run under the same application as the install, not ahead of it.
The cover is one of the barrier options
The site plan shows a barrier or a lockable safety cover meeting ASTM F1346. Check the latches on yours before moving day, not at inspection.
Refill inside the freeze season
Across the metro the median first freeze is October 9 and the last May 5. In that window the Westminster refill goes on the calendar for moving day or the next.
Westminster's site plan items and single-permit rule
Westminster's hot tub site plan must show any overhead electrical wires that pass over the tub with their height above the water, any glazing within 5 feet of the tub, and a barrier or lockable safety cover complying with ASTM F1346.

What hot tub moving involves in Westminster
Choosing a Westminster spot that passes the site plan
You want the tub set once, in a spot that clears Westminster's review the first time. The city's hot tub site plan has to show any glass within 5 feet of the tub, any overhead electrical wires crossing it with their height above the water, and a barrier or a lockable safety cover meeting ASTM F1346. A spot beside a patio door or under the service drop is the kind that draws questions, and a tub already sitting there drained is the worst time to hear them. Settle the spot, then the permit, then the move date. We check where that stands and connect you with a vetted spa mover, licensed and insured.
Is the new Westminster spot near a door or under wires?
Send a photo of the spot with the house wall in it. We will tell you what the site plan needs to show before a mover gives you a date.
Westminster hot tub moving questions
Can my electrician wire the new Westminster spot before the tub arrives?
Only under the full hot tub permit. Westminster will not issue a separate electrical permit or a pre-wire permit, so the circuit is part of the one application that also covers the install and the barrier or cover. File it first, and the wiring and the move follow.
Does the patio door next to my new spot matter in Westminster?
It can. The site plan has to show any glazing within 5 feet of the tub, and any overhead wires with their height above the water. Leaving more room from the door and the service drop is the simplest way to avoid questions at review.
