Do I need a permit for a pool in Markham?
Yes. Under Markham’s Pool Enclosure By-law (2015-96), you need a swimming pool enclosure permit before construction starts, and the City must inspect and approve the fence before the pool is filled. The enclosure must be at least 1.2 m (4 ft) high, with self-closing, self-latching gates. Hot tubs are covered too, but a hot tub with a locked cover that can hold 200 lb does not need a fence.
Do you serve all of Markham?
Yes. Every Markham postal code (L3P, L3R, L3S, L6B, L6C, L6E and L6G) is in our first service zone, so Markham homeowners pay the same starting prices as Stouffville.
When should I book?
Book your opening at least two weeks ahead. For a swim-ready pool on the Victoria Day weekend, book for the first week of May. Hot tub drain and clean visits run in November and December.
