HOA swimming pool demo?
well about a year ago my parents drained out the pool because they were going to clean it then repaint and fill up the pool. It was left without water for a few weeks and one side of the pool came out of the ground. it rained and HOA sent us a few notices about stagnant water, we drained it but it has been raining alot in houston. We now got cited and are supposed to appear in court in a couple of weeks. My dad and brothers demolished the pool then covered it with fill dirt and there is no more stagnant water. A friend of mine said that we should have got a permit to demo the pool.
My question is can we demolish it ourselves then fill it up? Did we need any permits?
Should we present photos of finished work at court or just wait and see what they tell us?
Thanks any help would be appreciated
oops!
yup – needed a permit…and yes now when you go to court take your pics…hopefully they will dismiss the stagnat HOA thing and just fine you for no permit.
you still need an inspection on it however.
good luck
