Above-ground pools in Temple Terrace require a building permit when greater than 24 inches deep and must meet the same FL §515 barrier requirements as in-ground pools.
Above-ground pools exceeding 24 inches in depth or 5,000 gallons are regulated structures under the FL Building Code and Temple Terrace Land Development Code. They require a permit, electrical bonding of the pool shell and ladders, and a 48-inch barrier (which may be the pool wall itself if the wall is at least 48 inches above grade and the ladder is removable or has a locking cover). Setbacks typically match accessory structure setbacks of 5 to 7.5 feet from property lines.
Unpermitted above-ground pool: stop-work, fines up to 500 dollars per day, and potential removal order. Missing or unlocked ladder treated as a barrier violation under FL §515.
