Above-ground pools in Goodyear must comply with ARS 36-1681. If pool walls are at least 5 feet high, they may serve as the barrier when access (ladders, stairs) is secured. Removable ladders must be removed when the pool is unattended. Walls under 5 feet require additional barrier fencing. Large above-ground pools with permanent decking, electrical, or plumbing require building permits. Small inflatable pools typically do not need permits but should have supervised access.
Non-compliant barriers may result in enforcement citations.
