Steps
Confirm whether the local jurisdiction requires a separate mechanical/gas permit for pool heater installation in addition to (or instead of) the pool-construction permit.
Identify which licensed trade must pull the gas-line permit — typically a licensed plumber or mechanical contractor depending on state/local licensing rules, not necessarily the pool contractor of record.
Verify the gas line and heater installation will pass inspection against the locally adopted fuel gas code and the manufacturer's venting/clearance specifications.
Coordinate permit timing with the gas utility if the added heater load requires meter or service upsizing.
Known gotchas
A pool-construction permit does not automatically cover the separate gas-line/mechanical permit for the heater — these are frequently separate applications reviewed by separate inspectors.
Some states restrict who may legally connect fuel gas piping to a licensed plumber/gasfitter only — a pool contractor performing that connection without the correct trade license can create a violation independent of the pool's own compliance status.
