Above-ground pools over 18 inches deep in Livermore require permits and must meet HSC barrier rules. Pool walls 60+ inches high may serve as the barrier.
Above-ground pools deeper than 18 inches (or holding more than 5,000 gallons per some interpretations) require building and electrical permits in Livermore. If the pool wall itself is at least 60 inches above finished grade, it may serve as the required barrier, provided any ladder is removable or locked when the pool is not in use. Setbacks from property lines and structures apply. Electrical bonding to pool structure and GFCI-protected outlets required.
