There are no county-specific regulations for above-ground pools in unincorporated Dallas County. No county permit is required for above-ground pool installation. Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 757 pool barrier requirements apply if the water depth exceeds 18 inches, the same as in-ground pools. If the pool wall itself meets barrier height requirements (48 inches) with a compliant ladder/access point, it may satisfy the barrier requirement. The county does not impose setback, placement, or size restrictions for above-ground pools. HOA covenants commonly restrict or prohibit above-ground pools for aesthetic reasons.
TX HSC Ch. 757 barrier requirements if over 18 inches deep. No county-specific violations.
