Above-ground pools in Duluth require a building permit and must meet the same 48-inch barrier standard. Pool walls 48 inches or taller may count as the barrier if ladders are secured/removable.
Any above-ground pool deeper than 24 inches requires a permit from Duluth Building Department. If pool walls are at least 48 inches tall, the pool structure may serve as the barrier, but access ladders must be removable or securable to prevent unauthorized entry. Setbacks from property lines must be observed (typically 5-10 feet; check UDC). Decking around pools triggers separate permit requirements.
Unpermitted pools require retroactive permits and may be ordered removed if they cannot be brought into code compliance.
