An above-ground pool gets no pass in unincorporated Sarpy County. Section 34.9.3 applies the same 60-inch barrier and 4-inch-gap rules to any outdoor pool 24 inches or more deep, and a permit is still required.
Sarpy County's pool-barrier rule reaches every outdoor pool 24 inches or deeper, so a typical above-ground pool must be enclosed by a fence or wall at least 60 inches high with no gap over 4 inches. The pool wall itself can serve as part of that enclosure where it meets the height, and access ladders should be secured or removable. A building permit and GFCI-protected wiring under the 2018 IRC apply as with in-ground pools. Small inflatable or soft-sided pools under 24 inches deep fall outside the barrier requirement.
An above-ground pool 24 inches or deeper without a compliant 60-inch barrier fails inspection and cannot be used. Unbonded or non-GFCI wiring is a cited electrical defect requiring correction.
