Above-ground pools in Odessa are subject to the same fencing and safety requirements as in-ground pools. Pools with walls at least 48 inches high may satisfy the barrier requirement, but a permit may still be required.
Above-ground pools with walls 48 inches or higher from grade may not require an additional fence if the ladder or steps can be removed or locked when not in use. Pools with walls less than 48 inches require the same fencing as in-ground pools. Electrical requirements apply to all pool types. Check with Building Inspection for permit requirements based on pool size.
Non-compliant above-ground pools face the same enforcement actions as in-ground pools including citations and required barrier installation.
