Thinking about putting in an ABOVE GROUND POOL?
This is what you need to know…
Above Ground Pools 24” in depth or greater require a building permit to ensure property setbacks and engineering requirements are met. If you are planning a pool that is 48” or less you will need a code compliant barrier for safety.

Your Application along with the following documents must be provided:
- (2) copies of a survey indicating the location of the pool;
- (2) copies of the specifications for the pool,
- Copies of your contractor’s license and insurance.

- If you have municipal water supply you will be require to have an engineered water backflow preventer (typically known as a RPZ valve). This device must be designed by a NYS licensed engineer and is required to be approved by the Westchester County Board of Health.
