Allen allows above-ground pools over 24 inches deep with a building permit. Barrier requirements and setbacks apply identically to in-ground. Temporary inflatable pools under 24 inches exempt.
Above-ground pools must be placed on level pad, cannot be on public utility easement, and electrical connections to pumps must be GFCI-protected hard-wired or approved cord-and-plug if under 20 A. Pool walls of 48 inches or more may serve as barrier if ladders are removable and gated. Setback from side and rear property lines typically 5 ft. Structural integrity and drain-out locations reviewed at permit.
