Swimming Pool Permit
Description:
All
provisions of the Municipal Code pertaining to construction, maintenance
and sanitation shall apply to all swimming pools more than 24 inches
deep or having a surface area more than 250 square feet.
Application:
Building
permit applications are available at the Department of Planning and
Development, Inspection Office located at 706 Maine Street, 3rd Floor,
City Hall Annex.
Requirements:
In Ground Pool: The pool area shall be
entirely enclosed with a fence not less than four feet high with a
positive locking gate. Gates
must be kept closed and locked at all times except when the pool is in
use under direct supervision
of an adult. A swimming
pool and/or fence shall not be constructed, installed, enlarged or
altered until a building permit has been obtained.
The owner or owner’s representative is required to complete an
application to obtain the building permit.
Above
Ground Pool: A pool with a 4 foot high or higher exterior wall is not required to
install a fence around the pool area. For above-ground swimming pools
that are at least 4 feet high above ground level, an acceptable means of
security in lieu of a fence and positive locking gate is a lockable
ladder that swings up, maintains an upright position and locks in place
when the pool is not in use and under the direct supervision of an
adult.
Review of Application and Plans:
The City’s Building Inspection Office will review the
submitted materials for the permit.
If the application and plans comply with the code, a building
permit will be issued the same day of the receipt of a completed
application.
Location:
The
placement of the swimming pool must meet the requirements for an
accessory structure.
Permit Fee Schedule:
The cost of a swimming pool and/or fence permit is based on
the cost of materials. The
fee is determined by Section 29.1101 of the Municipal Code of Quincy.
