Filled in pool

That is horrible. I am so sorry!

I don’t get it. If you still have a pool in the eyes of the town, why do you even need to involve the town to renovate your pool?

It just hasn’t been vacuumed out in a few years??? Seriously - what do they need to approve about new pumps and such?

If the city requires permits then everything would have to be in place if he ever wants to sell the house. Maybe that's why it was filled in to begin with.

If they are paying taxes on a pool then the city knows about the pool. I was just curious why they went to the city in the first place.


It does suck for sure! I hope you can get a satisfactory outcome that involves water!!

wow, I really hope they allow you to restore it!

I get bummed out when I hear a new homeowner decides to fill in their pool.

At least get your extra taxes back!

At least get your extra taxes back!

This is a good point. Can you claim previous year tax overpayment reimbursement?

How long have you been in the home?

Sounds like this is now an unusable portion of your lot & can also deny you the ability to place an outbuilding on your land.

The power company said they are actually making people shut down pools that fall inside their measurements.

I find this very hard to believe. Time to consult a real estate lawyer. You have a pool, you are paying taxes on it, there was some miscommunication with the town regarding your inquiries about the tax. Just keep using the pool that has been there all along!
