Applying for a pool permit in King Township is easier than ever, thanks to a new online application process.

Residents looking to construct a pool on their property can visit www.king.ca/poolpermit. There they will find a checklist of all the requirements that need to be submitted.

Some of these requirements include a site plan/survey, pool enclosure details, grading and drainage plan and pre-construction photographs.

All the information can be entered into an easy-to-use online form.

“We wanted to make the process as simple and straight-forward as possible,” said Carolyn Ali, Manager of Development for the Public Works Department. “The online application form only takes a few minutes to complete and then it’s as easy as hitting the submit button to send it on to a staff member who will process the permit application.”

A pool permit is required in order to construct a pool in the Township of King. Pool permits ensure that the proposed construction will meet the Township’s engineering standards and fence by-law.

If your property is in a new (unassumed) subdivision, approval and certification of the proposed works is required from the developer and its engineering consultant.

Payments for the pool permit fee, security deposit and permit renewals can now be made through our Online Services page at www.king.ca/onlineservices.

Residents with questions about pool permits can email poolpermit@king.ca ​or call 905-833-5321.
