Above-ground pools in Orem are subject to the same permitting and safety requirements as in-ground pools. A building permit is required. Fence and barrier requirements apply — the pool wall may serve as part of the barrier if it meets minimum height and has no accessible handholds or footholds on the exterior. All access points (ladders, stairs) must have self-closing, self-latching gates or be removable when the pool is not in use. Attached decking over a threshold size requires a separate building permit. Contact Orem Building Department at (801) 229-7000.
Unpermitted pools: removal or retroactive permit with double fees. Safety violations: immediate correction required. Fines $100 to $500.
