Above-ground pools holding more than 24 inches of water in unincorporated Johnson County require a county building permit and the same 4-foot barrier protection as in-ground pools; ladders must be removable or secured when unattended.
In unincorporated Johnson County, an above-ground pool stops being a toy and becomes regulated construction once it holds more than 24 inches of water. Past that depth, a county building permit is required, and the pool needs the same 4-foot barrier protection as an in-ground pool under the county's adopted building code. The ladder rule closes the obvious gap: access ladders must be removable or secured whenever the pool is unattended, so children can't climb in. Before filling a new pool, confirm the permit and barrier details with the county's building office.
