Above-ground pools in Beaverton holding water over 24 inches deep are subject to the same barrier, maintenance, and permit requirements as in-ground pools under BMC Chapter 8.05 and Section 8.07.380. A 48-inch barrier is required under Oregon state standards. Pools must be at least 3 feet from lot lines.
Beaverton's pool regulations under BMC Chapter 8.05 apply to all swimming pools regardless of whether they are above-ground or in-ground. Above-ground pools holding or capable of holding water exceeding 24 inches in depth must comply with barrier requirements (48-inch minimum fence with self-closing, self-latching gates), maintenance standards (no stagnant or discolored water), and setback requirements (3 feet from side/rear lot lines). A permit from the building official is required before installation. Small inflatable or temporary pools holding less than 24 inches of water may be exempt from fencing requirements but should still follow general safety practices.
Unpermitted pools: removal or retroactive permit with double fees. Safety violations: immediate correction required. Fines $100 to $500.
