INGROUND SWIMMING POOL DEMOLITION: IS A PERMIT REQUIRED?<\/h2>\n\n

In Montreal, a permit to demolish an in-ground pool<\/a> is not always required. This depends on your residence borough.
If a permit is necessary in your borough, head directly to the borough\u2019s service point with your documents to submit your request.
