Ocoee permits above-ground pools but requires the same FL §515 barrier compliance as in-ground pools when water depth exceeds 24 inches. Permit required, setbacks apply.
Above-ground pools deeper than 24 inches are treated as swimming pools under FL Building Code and FL §515. A building permit is required. Pool walls may count as a barrier if 48 inches or more above grade and the ladder is removable or lockable. Deck and stairs around above-ground pools must have self-closing self-latching gates. Setbacks from property lines typically 7.5 ft minimum. Electrical bonding required for metal walls and any pump.
No permit: double fees. Removable ladder not secured: code enforcement fine, barrier non-compliance possibly criminal under FL §515.29.
