Above-ground pools holding more than 24 inches of water require a Boynton Beach building permit, proper setbacks, and FL §515 barrier compliance. Pool walls 48 inches or higher with removable ladder can serve as the barrier.
Above-ground pools follow the same barrier law as in-ground pools under FL §515. If the pool wall is at least 48 inches high, the wall can serve as the barrier and the ladder must be removable or enclosed. Setbacks typically require 5 to 10 feet from property lines depending on zoning district. Electrical bonding and GFCI requirements apply. Above-ground pools that are fully drained each season still require barrier compliance if water exceeds 24 inches.
