Proper InstallationPools can be a relaxing source of fun and enjoyment for the whole family. They can also be very dangerous if not installed properly.

The Village, in an effort to protect and educate the residents, has provided this pamphlet to help guide them through the application process.   

* For more detailed information ask for a copy of the NYS Codes for Swimming Pools/ Enclosures and Gates.

The Village Code 175-46
The following regulations apply to pools:

• Pools 24” or more require a permit and a fence/ gate unless pool is rigid and at least 48” in height
• Must be placed 10’ from property line
• Pool alarm to detect motion in the pool
• Pools are not permitted in the front yard
• Water from pool cannot be discharged into storm sewer or on neighbor’s property

The State CodeThe Residential Code of NYS governs how a pool can be installed in order for it to be code compliant. Because each pool is different, a separate code review is required for each.

The Permit Process
Pool permits are required prior to construction. The following items are needed with the application:

• A survey of your property
• Contractor’s name and insurance info
• Pool type and manufacturer
• Cost of permit

Once these items are received and reviewed, your permit will be processed.

Inspections
Before the pool can be used, inspections are required to verify proper installation:

Please notify the Building Department and allow 24 hour notice for inspection when installation is complete.
