Pool requirements also need to be followed for inflatable "temporary" pools.  Any pool, hot tub, spa, whirlpool or other structure intended for swimming or recreational bathing, with a water depth of more than 24 inches, requires a building permit for installation.  This includes inflatable pools for seasonal use.  Please contact the Zoning Officer or Building Inspector for more detailed information.
