According to the latest HBW construction data reports, nearly 2,450 new swimming pool construction permits were added to the books across the state of Florida during the month of June 2025, reflecting more than an 18 percent month-over-month increase. With five key regions represented—Southwest, Southeast, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville—the Sunshine State continues to experience steady demand in residential pool construction, with high activity levels in coastal counties and a healthy spread of top-performing contractors region-wide.

Southwest Florida Leads the State

The Southwest region led the state for new pool construction activity in June, with 830 new permits and a total construction value in excess of $67.3 million. The average value of construction for the region landed at $81,132, slightly above the state’s mid-range. Leading counties for the month included Sarasota (228 permits) and Lee (196 permits). With over 200 active builders, the region was anchored by three top-performing contractors:

• Pinnacle USA pulled 71 permits with a total value of approximately $4.4 million.

Tampa Maintains High Value Builds

The Tampa area reported 459 new swimming pool construction permits in June, with a total construction value in excess of $40.6 million and an average value of $88,482—placing it among the higher-value markets this cycle.

Jacksonville Sees Higher Per-Permit Value

Although Jacksonville reported the fewest new pool permits in the state for June (241 total), the region had the highest average value at $89,975 per project—just ahead of Tampa’s top-tier pricing. Duval County (48 permits) and St. Johns County (121 permits) led in permit volume. Out of the 90+ active pool builders with new construction on record for the month, the leading companies were:

• Anthony & Sylvan Pools, with 13 permits and an average value of $106,231.
• Blue Haven Pools, following closely with 12 permits at an average of $74,307.

Overall, Florida’s swimming pool construction market continues to reflect strong regional demand, particularly in coastal and suburban areas. While volume continues to fluctuate month to month, average project values are holding somewhat steady or increasing in many regions—particularly in Tampa and Jacksonville, where luxury builds appear to be more prevalent. Leading contractors across the state remain consistent in their permit activity, indicating solid positioning and market share as we move into the second half of the year.
