Pool Backfilling or Fill-In

Some municipalities, like City of Toronto, do not require a permit for filling in or backfilling a swimming pool.

​

It is recommended that homeowners wishing to fill in an existing swimming pool to:

​

  • remove the liner or break the concrete base to prevent the collection of water

  • the pool should be backfilled with granular materials and levelled with 3 inches of top soil to permit seeding

​

For requirements or to obtain more information regarding filling in a swimming pool or information about the Ontario Building Code, contact Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

​

If a homeowner does not seek advice or follow the above suggestions, a referral can be made to the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks, if hazardous or toxic materials are believed to be used as back-fill.
