Above-ground pools deeper than 18 inches are regulated under the California Pool Safety Act. They need barriers and may require a building permit depending on size and installation.
Above-ground pools holding water more than 18 inches deep are regulated the same as in-ground pools under California Health and Safety Code 115921. They need a 60-inch barrier, which can be achieved by a compliant perimeter fence or by the pool wall itself if at least 60 inches tall with a lockable ladder that is removed or secured when the pool is not in use. Above-ground pools with a structural footprint exceeding permit thresholds require a Sacramento County building permit. Temporary inflatable wading pools under 18 inches are exempt. Because Isleton sits in FEMA Zone AE, permanent above-ground pool placement should consider flood risk.
