In Coon Rapids an above-ground pool, spa or hot tub whose sides or attached fence reach four feet in height needs no separate fence. When the pool wall serves as the barrier, the ladder or steps must be securable, lockable, or removable to block access. A building permit is still
Above-ground pools, spas or hot tubs with sides or attached fences that reach four feet in height do not require an additional fence in Coon Rapids. Where the pool structure itself is used as the barrier, the access ladder or steps must be capable of being secured, locked, removed, or otherwise protected to prevent access when the pool is unattended. If a barrier is mounted on top of the pool, the vertical clearance between the top of the pool and the bottom of that barrier cannot exceed four inches. A building permit is still required for the pool, plus an electrical permit, and setbacks apply (5 feet to an interior side line for the pool deck).
An unsecured ladder or a pool wall under four feet fails inspection and must be fenced or the ladder removed/locked. Enforced through building-permit inspection and City Code 12-511 nuisance provisions.
