According to Erie County's policy, you could be fined $2000 if you are found in violation of renting out your private pool.

Individuals who rent their private swimming pool to the public without a permit are violating state sanitary code and putting themselves at risk of penalties/fines. New York State allows penalties of up to $2,000 per violation. Complaints about swimming pools operating without a permit can be sent to the Erie County Department of Health Division of Environmental Health at (716) 961-6800.

 

Before you rent out a pool or offer up your pool for rental, just know the rules and regulations before you do.
