State law counts any permanent pool over 18 inches deep, including above-ground pools, as a pool that must be enclosed at apartment/HOA properties. The City of Lubbock applies its 48-inch barrier code to private above-ground pools; the county sets no rule.
Health & Safety Code section 757.001 defines a pool to include a permanent swimming pool over 18 inches deep, which sweeps in deeper above-ground pools at multiunit rental and HOA properties, so these must meet the same 48-inch enclosure and gate standards. For private above-ground pools inside the City of Lubbock, the adopted International Swimming Pool and Spa Code applies its barrier requirements once the pool exceeds the code depth threshold, and the pool wall itself may serve as part of the barrier if tall enough. Unincorporated Lubbock County imposes no above-ground-pool ordinance.
An unenclosed qualifying above-ground pool violates state law (apartment/HOA) or city barrier code (private); the county cannot cite above-ground pools in unincorporated areas.
