Naperville requires permits for above-ground pools over 24 inches deep. Pools 24-48 inches need full barrier fencing. Pools over 48 inches may use a removable/retractable ladder instead of a fence. Kiddie pools under 24 inches are exempt.
Naperville has tiered regulations for above-ground pools based on depth. Kiddie pools up to 24 inches deep require no permit and no barrier. Above-ground pools between 24 and 48 inches deep require a building permit and must have a barrier including fencing, gates, and hardware meeting the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. Above-ground pools with a ladder and greater than 48 inches deep require a permit, but may use a removable or retractable ladder as a substitute for a full barrier, or install full fencing. All above-ground pools must comply with setback requirements and electrical safety standards. Permits are submitted through the Civic Access portal.
Above-ground pool without required permit: code violation. Missing barrier on 24-48 inch pool: immediate safety violation. Improper electrical connections: stop-use order.
