Above-ground pools in Smyrna require the same barrier protections as in-ground pools under the 2024 ISPSC. Building permits required above certain size thresholds. Must comply with zoning setbacks.
Above-ground pools in Smyrna are subject to the same safety barrier requirements as in-ground pools — the pool wall itself may serve as the barrier if it is at least 4 feet high with ladder access secured by a self-latching gate when not in use. Pools above certain sizes require a building permit from the Building Division. All pools must comply with zoning setback requirements for the applicable residential district. Contact the Building Division (678-631-5387) to confirm current size thresholds and setback requirements.
Unpermitted pools: removal or retroactive permit with double fees. Safety violations: immediate correction required. Fines $100 to $500.
