Above-ground pools are subject to the same barrier and permit requirements as in-ground pools under Oregon Residential Specialty Code. Plumbing permits are required. Electrical permits are needed for pump wiring and mechanical permits for gas heaters.
Tigard requires permits for above-ground pools exceeding 24 inches in depth or holding more than 5,000 gallons, though thresholds vary locally. Pools must meet setback requirements from property lines and structures. Barrier and fencing requirements apply to above-ground pools the same as in-ground pools, though pool walls 48 inches or higher may satisfy barrier requirements. Electrical connections must comply with NEC requirements with GFCI protection. Proper drainage must prevent discharge onto neighboring properties. Temporary inflatable pools under the depth threshold are generally exempt.
Unpermitted pools: removal or retroactive permit with double fees. Safety violations: immediate correction required. Fines $100 to $500.
