Above-ground pools over 24 inches deep require Snellville building permit and must meet IRC Appendix G barrier requirements. Pool wall (48"+) can serve as barrier if ladder is removable or lockable.
Snellville treats above-ground pools as accessory structures requiring a building permit. Typical setbacks: 10 feet from side/rear property lines (subject to verification against zoning district). Pool wall at least 48 inches high acts as barrier; ladder must be removable or have lockable safety cover. Deck platforms abutting pool must have self-closing gate or continue the 48-inch barrier. Electrical for pump requires separate permit and GFCI protection.
Unpermitted pool: double permit fee + $150-$500 code enforcement citation.
