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- Building Application
- Plot Plan with pool drawn on (please contact the building division to get a plot plan)
- Easement map (please contact the building division to get an easement map)

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