Huntington requires building permits for above-ground pools over 24 inches deep and treats them the same as in-ground pools for barrier, setback, and electrical requirements. The pool wall itself can serve as the barrier if at least 48 inches high with a secured ladder.
Above-ground pools of any size 24 inches or deeper require a Huntington building permit under Chapter 87. The 10-foot property line setback and 15-foot dwelling setback apply. If the pool wall is at least 48 inches above grade it can serve as the required barrier, but the ladder must be removable, lockable, or enclosed by a gated fence to prevent unauthorized access. Decks attached to above-ground pools require their own building permit and must include barriers meeting 48-inch standards. Electrical connections must be GFCI-protected and installed by a licensed electrician.
