Before you install 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.
- Obtain two sets of detailed drawings as 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 $105 fee. The certificate may take up to five (5) business days to process.
- Apply for swimming pool permit once the application is made for the Zoning Clearance Certificate. Visit 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 Bylaw Officer at the same time as the Zoning Clearance Certificate.
