Above-ground pools deeper than 24 inches in Live Oak require a permit and barrier, and removable ladders must be secured or lifted when the pool is not in use.
Live Oak applies the same 24-inch depth threshold to above-ground pools that triggers permitting and barrier requirements. The pool's own wall may qualify as part of the barrier if it is at least 48 inches tall and has no external handholds. Removable ladders or steps must be secured, locked, or removed when the pool is unattended to prevent child access. Electrical connections, pumps, and any permanent deck require trade permits. Setbacks from property lines and easements apply; inflatable or temporary pools under 24 inches deep typically do not require permits but still must be supervised and drained when not in use.
