Swimming Pools

​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 onto neighbor’s property

​State Code
The 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.

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:

• Location on property
• Third party electrical inspection
• Fence and gate requirements

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