Pearland requires permits for above-ground pools deeper than 24 inches and applies the same enclosure standards as in-ground pools when the pool wall does not itself meet barrier height requirements.
Through the adopted 2021 ISPSC in Chapter 7, an above-ground pool with walls at least 48 inches above grade may serve as its own barrier, provided any ladder or steps are removable, lockable, or surrounded by a separate compliant barrier when not in use. Pools with walls under 48 inches must be enclosed by a separate fence meeting all standard barrier requirements. Setbacks from property lines, easements, and overhead electrical service drops must also be observed during plan review.
Installing an above-ground pool without a permit or without a compliant ladder barrier can result in citations, removal orders, and daily fines through municipal court.
