Yes, permits are required to install a swimming pool in the city. According to the city website, applications must include a grading plan and submission checklist. The grading plan should be prepared by a professional engineer or Ontario land surveyor.

All designs and grading/drainage systems must adhere to the City Standards and Specifications Manual.

Once your swimming pool is complete, you will require an inspection to assess the site and determine if there are any discrepancies. You will be notified in writing if there are any issues with your swimming pool installation or enclosure. Additional inspections may be necessary to confirm any issues have been remedied.

Additionally, property owners can email the city at sitealteration@richmondhill.ca to request the return of their security deposits.
