An above-ground pool deep enough to hold more than 24 inches of water needs a county pool permit in unincorporated Sumner County. The 2021 building code's barrier rules apply, though a 48-inch pool wall with a removable or lockable ladder can serve as the barrier.
Sumner County regulates above-ground pools under the 2021 ICC building codes adopted in 2023. A pool designed to hold more than 24 inches of water needs a pool permit from Building & Codes in Room 208, (615) 452-1467, plus zoning compliance for setbacks. Under the adopted residential code, the pool's own wall can satisfy the barrier requirement if it stands at least 48 inches above grade all around and the ladder or steps are removable, lockable, or can be raised to block access; otherwise a separate 48-inch barrier is required. The final inspection checks the barrier, alarm, and electrical work. Small temporary pools below the depth threshold are generally exempt.
An above-ground pool over the depth threshold set up without a permit, or left with an unsecured ladder and a wall under 48 inches, fails the county's final inspection and cannot be used until corrected.
