Hinds County requires permits for above-ground pools over 24 inches deep. Must meet setbacks and barrier requirements per 2018 IRC/IBC adopted by the county. GFCI electrical required.
Hinds County has adopted the 2018 International Residential Code, which requires a building permit for above-ground pools exceeding 24 inches in depth or 5,000 gallons. Setbacks from rear and side property lines are typically 5 feet in unincorporated Hinds County; the City of Jackson requires 5-foot side setbacks and 10-foot rear. Barrier requirements per IRC Appendix G apply: 48-inch minimum barrier, self-closing/self-latching gates, or the pool wall itself may serve as barrier if 48 inches or higher with removable/lockable ladder. Electrical connections require a separate electrical permit and GFCI protection per NEC Article 680. Jackson's Yazoo clay soil can cause pool shifting; proper base preparation is critical. Discharge when draining cannot enter neighboring property or storm drains — Pearl River watershed protections apply.
Unpermitted pools: stop-work plus retroactive permit at double fee. Barrier violations: immediate correction or pool drained. Fines $100 to $500. Electrical violations: hazardous, must be corrected before use.
