1. 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 square feet and a depth greater than 2 feet. 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.

2. What are the required setbacks?

Same as the building setbacks, measured from the lot line to the waters edge.

3. Is a fence required?

Yes. A fence at least 4 feet high, and gates must be self closing and self latching.
