Get your hands on a plot plan! The only true way to initially find out if you can install a pool is to first see what you are working with. If you do not have one, call your town's Building Department to see what they have on file. If your town does not have one on file AND your house is older than 30 years then you will need to hire a survey company to make a new plan for you.
A basic plot plan will show the following things:
Front, side, and rear property lines
House/Dwellings location in relation to the property lines (as-built or existing NOT PROPOSED or Mortgage Plans)
Septic tank & leaching fields (if applicable)
Well (if applicable)
More detailed plot plans are even better. These could show things like conservation buffers and limitation areas, elevations, plantings, fences, and more!
MAKE SURE THERE IS A SCALE ON YOUR PLAN TOO!
