Englewood treats above-ground pools as private pools under Chapter 385, requiring permits, plan approval, and fencing whenever water depth exceeds 18 inches.
Englewood Chapter 385 applies to all private pools regardless of construction type, including above-ground pools. Owners must obtain a permit from the Chief Inspector with plans showing pool dimensions, location, and existing or proposed fencing. Above-ground pools holding water deeper than 18 inches must be enclosed by a fence or wall meeting the chapter's barrier requirements, with self-closing, lockable gates. Pools located within 200 feet of the front property line require complete enclosure.
Erecting an above-ground pool without a permit, omitting required fencing, or skipping Health Officer approval triggers stop-work orders and municipal violations.
