Above-ground pools in Peoria must meet the same barrier and safety requirements as in-ground pools. Pools with walls under 5 feet require additional fencing to meet the barrier height requirement.
Above-ground pools in Peoria are subject to the same safety standards as in-ground pools under the city building code. If pool walls are at least 48 inches high with lockable access (removable ladder or steps), they may partially satisfy the barrier requirement. However, the total barrier must reach at least 5 feet per Arizona law. Additional fencing may be needed. Electrical connections must comply with code. Above-ground pools may not be located in front yards and must maintain setbacks from property lines.
Above-ground pools without proper barriers result in building code violations and required correction.
