Huntington requires a building permit from the Building Department for all swimming pools including in-ground, above-ground over 24 inches, and hot tubs. Permits require plot plans, fencing details, and electrical inspections. Work without a permit is a Chapter 87 building code violation.

Setback from septic systems must meet Suffolk County Department of Health Services rules. In-ground pools require multiple inspections including excavation, rebar, plumbing, electrical, and final. Permit fees are based on pool size and estimated value. Pools are assessed for property tax purposes after completion.
