Above-ground pools in Mountain View deeper than 18 inches require permits and must meet the same fencing and safety rules as in-ground pools under California H&S 115920.
Mountain View treats above-ground pools deeper than 18 inches as permanent swimming pools requiring a building permit and compliance with the California Swimming Pool Safety Act. Sidewalls at least 60 inches high can serve as part of the barrier system, but any ladders or access stairs must be removable, lockable, or enclosed within a compliant fence. Setback requirements from property lines, septic systems, and structures apply. Electrical connections for pumps and filters must be permitted and include GFCI protection and proper bonding. Inflatable or soft-sided pools under 18 inches generally do not require permits but should still be supervised and drained between uses to prevent drowning.
