Swimming Pool
Any pool with a depth over 24" requires a permit. If your pool will be a temporary installation, submit permit application, plumbing worksheet and a plat of survey showing barrier (fencing) location and self-closing gate. If your pool will be a permanent installation, submit permit application, plumbing worksheet and plat of survey showing pool placement , dimensions, distance from property lines, barrier (fencing) locations and self-closing gate.
Please review Appendix G of the International Residential Code for barrier requirements. Installation should follow manufacturer's instruction. Submit all documents in pdf format to permitdesk@cityofevanston.org. Zoning only needs to review the permanent installations.
