Swimming pool permit rules in Islip, NY — also covering above-ground pools, in-ground pools, and spa installations — set fencing, barrier, alarm, and inspection requirements.
Islip Division of Building requires a building permit for all in-ground and above-ground swimming pools with water depth exceeding 24 inches under Town Code Chapter 30 and the NY Uniform Code. Electrical permits are also required for pool equipment.
Permit application must include a site plan showing pool location, setbacks from property lines (typically 10 feet side/rear), drywell or recharge basin for backwash, barrier details, electrical bonding and grounding, and a survey. Pools cannot be located in front yards or closer than 10 feet to a principal dwelling. A final inspection and certificate of completion are required before use. Pools within the Suffolk County Coastal Erosion Hazard Area or FEMA flood zones on Fire Island require additional DEC and FEMA-compliant design review.
Constructing a pool without a permit carries fines up to 5,000 dollars and a stop-work order. Un-permitted pools must be either permitted retroactively (with fees doubled) or removed.
