Do You Need a Building Plan for a Pool?
This depends on the township where you live and the regulations. Depending on the laws, it may be required to submit a building plan and obtain a permit before constructions can begin. Since these laws vary location to location it is crucial to check the laws and ordinances specifically in your area. As professionals in Fire Island, we can help you with the planning and design stages and navigate you through this process to make sure you are in compliance with local zoning regulations.
Where Should a Pool Be Placed in my Yard?
During the planning stages, you will need to determine where exactly you will want the pool to be placed in your backyard. This means other details will need to be considered as well, which includes the following:
- the size and dimensions of the pool.
- the shape and layout of your backyard.
- if your yard is flat or sloped.
- the minimum distance that needs to be maintained between your home and your pool, which is known as a setback.
- how much sunlight different parts of your backyard gets during the summer.
- the position of your septic tank.
- the position of the immovable features on your lawn, such as gazebos or sheds.
- details such as space of landscaping or decking around the pool.
- if the pool will impact your view.
- does the pool impact your privacy.
We can discuss these aspects when planning and designing a pool to ensure that all aspects are covered properly.
How Do I Know If I Can Even Put a Pool in My Backyard?
There are two basic steps to ensure that your yard is pool ready.

- Confirm that it is physically possible. It is important to get a trusted assessment of your yard from a professional, which is something the team at Fire Island Property Management can do.
