Above-ground pools capable of holding more than 24 inches of water are regulated as pools in Castle Rock and must meet the adopted 2024 ISPSC, including the 48-inch barrier and self-latching gate requirements, plus a building permit.
Under the ISPSC, a pool means any structure intended for swimming or recreational bathing containing water over 24 inches deep, which covers most above-ground pools. Castle Rock requires these to be permitted and to satisfy the barrier rules of ISPSC Section 305. The pool wall itself can serve as the barrier if it is at least 48 inches high and any ladder or steps can be secured, removed or enclosed so children cannot climb up when the pool is unattended. Electrical connections for pumps must meet the adopted National Electrical Code.
An unpermitted above-ground pool, or one without a compliant barrier/removable ladder, can be cited and must be corrected under Title 15.
