Quincy swimming pools must comply with the Massachusetts Building Code (780 CMR) and state pool safety regulations. Pools over 24 inches deep require a building permit. Pools near wetlands require Conservation Commission review.
Under Quincy's zoning code, swimming pools are not treated as structures for minimum yard setback purposes, but pool decks, machinery, and appurtenances must meet yard requirements. Pools deeper than 24 inches require a building permit under Massachusetts state law. If the pool site is within 100 feet of a wetland resource area, a Notice of Intent must be filed with the Conservation Commission under MGL c. 131 §40. State sanitary code (105 CMR 435) applies to semi-public pools.
Building without a required permit can result in stop-work orders, fines, and required removal.
