Pool Permits

The first item needed to install your above ground pool is Zoning Approval. For this, a survey will be required. These are commonly obtained during a house sale. We will need a “clean” copy, showing the existing conditions of your property. We will need a second copy showing where you propose to install the pool. Keep in mind, the surveys must be to scale (original size), so do not fax them and be careful if sending them by email. 

The Zoning application can be found below or obtained in person from the Building Department. Page one of the Zoning Application is the owner information, owner email, contractor information and proposed work. On page two, you can check the box for swimming pool under Application Type and you must sign it.

Page three contains information about the process. Page four is a sample of a survey. Page five contains the important information. You must provide us with the existing and proposed lot coverage. We need this to determine if your property has excessive coverage as allowed by ordinance. Maximum permitted lot coverage for a lot less than 6000 square feet is 45%, 40% if 6000 sq. ft.or greater. The same is true regarding required setbacks from property lines, which is a minimum of 8 feet.  Page six contains some information regarding filling out page five.

Also include two copies of the pool specifications and the Zoning Review fee of $150.00.
