You are allowed to put a pool on any home site. The maximum size will depend on the "boundary rules" which are known as the easements -- 5 ft easements on the side boundaries and 7.5 ft (formerly 10 ft) on the back. These are the easements in Sumter County. In other words, these distances are the closest a permanent structure, like a pool deck, patio or lanai, may be to the property line.
