Above-ground pools in Galloway Township are accessory structures that require a construction permit and must meet the same setbacks and barrier rules as in-ground pools. Under Chapter 233, pools must be set back at least 10 feet from side and rear property lines, measured from the water's edge.
Galloway's Land Management ordinance (Chapter 233) treats swimming pools, in-ground and above-ground, as accessory uses. The pool must be located in the rear or side yard and kept 10 feet from side and rear property lines (measured from the edge of the water). The pool wall can act as part of the required 48-inch barrier only if the wall is at least 48 inches high and ladders/steps are removable or lockable when unattended. A UCC construction permit and electrical inspection are required.
Placing an above-ground pool inside the setback or without a permit violates Chapter 233 and the UCC; Code Enforcement or the Construction Official may order relocation, correction, or removal and assess penalties.
