Pool Removal: frequently asked questions
These answers are general. For your situation, check the official sources listed below or ask a professional.
Full or partial removal?
A full removal takes the whole shell out and is better if you may build there. A partial removal costs less but leaves part of the shell buried.
Do I need a permit?
In most cities, yes. Some also require an engineer's compaction report.
Does a removed pool affect resale?
Keep the permit and compaction records: buyers and inspectors will ask.
