Pool Permits
Permits are required for above-ground pools as well as in-ground pools.
To apply for a pool permit you must submit a completed pool application form with two copies of the proposed site plan, showing the proposed location of the pool and distances from each property line, and submit to By-Law Enforcement at Fire Station 1. If your home is on a septic system, you will need to contact the Niagara Regional Private Sewage Systems Department at 905-980-6000 for their approval of the location of the pool.
Pool Fencing Requirements
Fencing, with a minimum height of 5', is required for both in-ground and above-ground pools. In the case of above-ground pools, a railing on the top of the pool is considered sufficient, provided the minimum height of 5' is maintained.
Any questions, please contact Sylvia Zappitelli, Administrative Assistant, By-Law at 905-980-6646 or 905-892-2607 ext 201 or SZappitelli@pelham.ca
