An above-ground pool over 18 inches deep needs a Mohave County permit and must meet A.R.S. §36-1681, though a pool wall at least four feet high with non-climbable sides can itself serve as the barrier.
Mohave County treats a permanent above-ground pool as a regulated pool once it holds water more than 18 inches deep or exceeds 5,000 gallons, so the building permit and §36-1681 barrier rules apply. The statute lets the pool's own wall act as the barrier when it is an above-ground pool with non-climbable exterior sides at least four feet high; any ladder or steps must be removable, lockable, or enclosed by a compliant barrier so a child cannot climb in. Electrical connections need GFCI protection and proper bonding. Drainage must not discharge onto a neighbor's lot. A small prefab pool under 18 inches and under 5,000 gallons is exempt from the permit.
Leaving a climbable ladder attached, or a pool wall under four feet without a separate barrier, fails inspection. Installing a permanent above-ground pool without a permit brings retroactive fees.
