Out of sheer curiosity, I looked it up. The City of Rehobeth does in fact say that building permits are required within the town jurisdiction AND the police jurisdiction. They have a hand drawn red line map on their website. They list 4 required inspections for swimming pools.

I have no idea what legal ground they have to enforce building codes within a police jurisdiction if you are not receiving any services at all and don't pay any city taxes, fees, or can vote. Sounds like a classic "taxation (permit fees) without representation". Definitely a lawyer question.
