Above-ground pools in unincorporated Utah County follow IBC/IRC pool barrier requirements. Pools over 24 inches deep require a building permit.
Above-ground pools in unincorporated Utah County that hold more than 24 inches of water must comply with pool barrier standards. The pool wall may serve as part of the barrier if it is at least 4 feet high and has no external ladder or access means when the pool is unattended. Small inflatable or portable pools under 24 inches deep are generally exempt from permit requirements but should still maintain setbacks from property lines. Seasonal above-ground pools should be emptied when not in use to prevent mosquito breeding and ice damage.
Unpermitted pools: removal or retroactive permit with double fees. Safety violations: immediate correction required. Fines $100 to $500.
