What do you need to know before you dive into swimming pool ownership? There are many things and those include not only deciding on the type of pool you want, the contractor you’ll work with, where you will place the pool and even before that… what kind of building permits you need for your swimming pool! What?! Yes, you will need to secure building permits from your local zoning and building code officer. Relax though because your swimming pool contractor from Advanced Pool Care is well-
versed in the process and will work with you to obtain the necessary permits and file the required paperwork.
Depending on the area of the country in which you live, the requirements could be different, so knowing what your individual municipality requires is crucial before you even get your heart set on a particular size or style of swimming pool as there could be building restrictions you may need to adhere to.
The reason for obtaining permits is so the municipality can make certain that construction requirements are adhered to as a way to ensure your safety. The building codes could also pertain to the deck, fence and pool construction as well as the electrical and plumbing requirements.
The zoning and building laws will also dictate how much of a set back you will need to have for your swimming pool project as it pertains to fences and neighboring property lines. The zoning laws will also determine the height of the fence you will need (as well as the materials you can use to build a fence).
