Above-ground pools deeper than 24 inches require the same 48-inch barrier as in-ground pools under RI code. Prefabricated pools under 24 inches deep may be exempt from building permits. All pools must meet zoning setbacks.
Under the RI State Building Code, prefabricated swimming pools less than 24 inches deep are generally exempt from building permit requirements. Above-ground pools exceeding 24 inches depth must comply with all barrier requirements of the RI Swimming Pool and Spa Code. Zoning setback requirements for accessory structures apply. Electrical connections for pumps and lighting always require electrical permits. Above-ground pools with attached decks may trigger additional building permit requirements.
Pool over 24 inches without barrier: enforcement action. Unpermitted electrical work: stop-work order.
