Brookline pools must comply with Massachusetts Building Code (780 CMR) and state health regulations (105 CMR 435). Building permits are required for pools over 24 inches deep. Pools in the Floodplain Overlay District require a Floodplain Development Permit.
Any residential pool exceeding 24 inches in depth requires a building permit from the Brookline Building Department. Pool installations must comply with 780 CMR (Massachusetts Building Code) for structural requirements. Semi-public pools are subject to 105 CMR 435 (State Sanitary Code). Pools in the Floodplain Overlay District require a Floodplain Development Permit from the Floodplain Administrator in addition to a building permit. Brookline's Building Department submits pool affidavits confirming barrier compliance with 105 CMR 435.
Building without a required permit results in stop-work orders, fines, and potential removal orders.
