Rankin County requires building permits for above-ground pools over 24 inches deep per 2018 IRC. Barriers required; pool walls 48 inches or higher may qualify. Electrical permit for GFCI circuit.
Rankin County enforces the 2018 International Residential Code (IRC) which requires permits for pools capable of containing water over 24 inches deep. Above-ground pools must meet setbacks established in county zoning: typically 10 feet from rear/side property lines in A-R and R-1 districts. Barriers: pool walls 48 inches or higher above grade may serve as the barrier; ladder must be removable or gated when pool is unattended. Electrical permit required for pump/heater 240V circuit with GFCI protection. Pools must not discharge drainage onto adjacent properties or into county drainage without approval. Temporary inflatable pools under 24 inches are exempt. Pools in unincorporated areas fall under county code; cities (Brandon, Pearl, Flowood, Richland) enforce their own ordinances.
Unpermitted pools: stop-work order, retroactive permit with double fees. Barrier violations: immediate correction. Fines $100 to $500 plus per-day penalties.
