Pool Filings Bounce Back in Milton, 13 This Year After 6 in 2025
Townwide · Trend · Oct 25, 2026
Milton pool filings more than doubled this year, back to their 2024 pace after a quiet 2025.
- This year: 13 properties had filings in the town's pool category from Jan 1 through Oct 23, against 6 in the same stretch of 2025. Eleven are for new or replacement pools; two are to remove old ones.
- Two years ago: 2024 had 13 by the same date, so this year is a return to that pace after a slow 2025 rather than a new high.
- Cost: declared costs for this year's 11 new or replacement pools run from $47,000 to $210,678, with a median of $114,000. Last year's 6 had a median of $91,275.
- Latest: the most recent filing, on Oct 5, is an 18-by-36-foot in-ground gunite pool on Alvin Ave declared at $198,300. One on Gun Hill St, filed in June, is indoors, with a keypad-operated cover.
- How we counted: Milton filings in the town's Pool building category, counted by filing date, each property once (one lot filed twice this year). Category data covers every Milton building permit since 2024, so earlier years are not compared. Declared cost is the applicant's estimate, not a final price.
