Above-ground pools exceeding 24 inches deep, 250 sq ft in area, or equipped with a recirculation system require a building permit. The same 48-inch barrier and gate requirements apply. Setback review through the Zoning Review Section is required.
Above-ground pools follow the same Chapter 1118 standards as in-ground pools. Many homeowners use a permanent 4-ft side wall as the barrier; if the pool wall is less than 48 in or has steps/ladders for access, additional fencing is required. A self-closing ladder or removable steps can satisfy the access-control requirement. Electrical work must be by a county-licensed electrician.
Stop-work; barrier compliance order before water-fill; up to $1,000 fine.
