Do I need a permit for swimming pool or spa in Town of Chili?

Permit required

Yes. In New York, swimming pool or spa generally requires a permit, and Town of Chili is no exception.

Any pool, hot tub, or spa that can hold water more than 24 inches deep, including above-ground and on-ground pools, is a swimming pool under RCNYS R328.2, and pools are not among the work a local program may exempt from a permit (19 NYCRR 1203.3(a)(1)). Every pool or spa installed, constructed, or substantially modified after December 14, 2006 needs a pool alarm complying with ASTM F2208, unless it has a qualifying ASTM F1346 safety cover (RCNYS R328.6; Executive Law section 378(14)). The permanent barrier must be at least 48 inches high, gates must be self-closing, self-latching, and locked when the pool is not in use, and a temporary barrier must be replaced by a permanent one within 90 days of the permit or the start of construction (RCNYS R328.4).
