Swimming Pools FAQ's

Do I need a permit for a swimming pool?

Yes. The State Building Code defines a swimming pool as any pool with an area greater than 250 sq. ft. and a depth greater than 2 ft. If your pool does not meet both of these criteria, then it is not considered a swimming pool and does not need a building permit.

Is a fence required?

Yes. A fence at least four and a half feet high, and gates must be self-closing and self-latching.
