Above-ground pools in unincorporated Arapahoe County are subject to the same ISPSC barrier requirements as in-ground pools. Building permits may be required depending on size and permanence. Pool walls alone may not satisfy barrier requirements.
Above-ground pools in unincorporated Arapahoe County must comply with the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code barrier requirements. Permanent above-ground pools generally require building permits. The pool wall itself may serve as part of the barrier only if it meets the minimum 48-inch height requirement and has no climbable features. Ladder and step access must be removable or gated when the pool is not in use. Inflatable and temporary pools under certain size thresholds may not require permits but still should comply with safety standards. All pools must have proper barrier fencing installed before being filled with water per county requirements.
Non-compliant above-ground pools may face code enforcement and orders to install proper barriers or remove the pool.
