Inglewood regulates above-ground pools similarly to in-ground pools. Pools over a certain size require permits and must meet barrier requirements. Small inflatable pools may be exempt from permitting.
Above-ground pools in Inglewood exceeding 18 inches in depth or 5,000 gallons typically require a building permit. These pools must meet the same barrier and safety requirements as in-ground pools. The pool walls may count toward the barrier height if they are non-climbable and meet code standards. Small, portable inflatable pools under 18 inches deep are generally exempt from permitting. All above-ground pools must comply with setback requirements and not encroach on easements.
Unpermitted above-ground pools may receive code enforcement notices requiring permits or removal. Non-compliant barriers must be corrected.
