Pools


Any pool over 18 inches in depth requires a permit and review. Reviewers will be checking the pool location relative to any nearby easements and/or building structures. When submitting for a pool application we strongly recommend whoever does the work should pull the permit. 

Prerequisites

Fencing
  • A five foot high fence is required for in-ground & above-ground pools (existing four foot high fences will be grandfathered in).
  • Above ground pools may meet the height requirement if the pool wall itself meets the five-foot height limit.
  • An attachable barrier/fence can also be added onto above ground pools to meet the five-foot height requirement.
(If you do not meet the fence height requirements, we will not accept a pool permit application. However, a fence permit can be applied for at the same time as a swimming pool application) 

Placement
  • Pools must be at least 10 feet off of your property lines.
  • No swimming pool shall be closer than eight feet (8') to the principal building or accessory structure having a basement, nor closer than five feet (5') to any principal building or accessory structure without a basement. 

Application Materials

Documents
Once we receive all the necessary documents, the application will go into review.
