Above-ground pools in Montgomery must meet the same barrier and safety requirements as in-ground pools. Pools with walls less than 48 inches high require additional fencing.
Above-ground pools in Montgomery are subject to the same safety and barrier requirements as in-ground pools under the building code. If the pool walls are at least 48 inches high with a lockable ladder or steps that can be removed or secured, the pool wall itself may serve as part of the barrier. Pools with walls less than 48 inches require additional fencing to meet the 4-foot barrier requirement. A building permit is required for permanent above-ground pool installations. Inflatable or temporary pools under a certain size may be exempt from permit requirements but not from safety responsibilities.
Non-compliant above-ground pools may receive code enforcement notices requiring installation of proper barriers.
