A swimming pool fence permit is formal permission from the municipality to commence construction of a swimming pool and its enclosure. It means the swimming pool fence permit application has been reviewed by the municipality for compliance to the applicable regulations.
Swimming pool fence permits are necessary to ensure that zoning standards, fencing requirements, safety and other applicable regulations are met. It is the property owner's responsibility to ensure a swimming pool fence permit is obtained when required. The property owner is also required to fill out a Site Alteration and Grading Application to ensure that any alterations will not affect your neighbours property in any way.
Swimming pool fence permits and a Site Alteration and Grading Application are required for all types of swimming pools as defined in By-Law 56-2011 and amending By-law 162-2020 - Swimming Pool Fence.
Swimming pool fence permit applications and Site Alteration and Grading Applications can be made through Planning & Building Services. Please ensure completed applications are legible, it is preferred that the fillable online application forms are used.
