Before installing a swimming pool or hot tub, read our Swimming Pool/Hot Tub Permit Application Package (PDF) which outlines permit application requirements. According to Pool By-law 74-2005, owners of privately owned swimming pools must build and maintain fences and gates around their swimming pools.
Before you begin construction on your pool or hot tub:
- Use the Zoning Clearance for Pool Permit Applications Checklist (PDF) to gather the required information for the Zoning Clearance Certificate.
- Two sets of detailed drawings are required with a Site Alteration Form (PDF). For further details, contact the Planning Department at 905-335-7642.
- Apply for the Zoning Clearance Certificate at the Planning Division on the second floor of City Hall. There is a $102 fee. The certificate may take up to five (5) business days to process.
- Once the application is made for the Zoning Clearance Certificate, go to the Building department on the lower level of City Hall to apply for the swimming pool permit.
- Your swimming pool permit application will be processed and reviewed by the By-law Officer at the same time as the Zoning Clearance Certificate.
