Hernando County requires a building permit for above-ground pools deeper than 24 inches, and Florida's §515 barrier rules apply — though pool walls at least 48 inches high can serve as the barrier.
An above-ground pool deeper than 24 inches needs a Hernando County building permit covering setbacks, electrical bonding, and GFCI protection. Under Fla. Stat. §515, the same barrier rules that apply to in-ground pools apply here, but a pool wall at least 48 inches high with a removable or lockable ladder can satisfy the barrier requirement. Drainage cannot discharge onto neighboring lots. Small inflatable pools under 24 inches are exempt. Screen or deck additions around the pool carry their own permits and must meet Gulf coast hurricane wind loads.
An unpermitted above-ground pool needs a retroactive permit or removal, and safety violations demand immediate correction. Fines run from $100 to $500 with daily accrual.
