Above-ground pools in Union City require permits if deeper than 24 inches under N.J.A.C. 5:23. NJ barrier requirements apply. Given Union City's extremely small lot sizes, above-ground pools are largely impractical.
NJ UCC (N.J.A.C. 5:23) and Chapter 426 apply to above-ground pools deeper than 24 inches. Permits are required. Barrier requirements apply: a 4-foot fence or, if the pool wall is at least 4 feet high with no external ladder (or a lockable ladder), the pool wall may satisfy the barrier requirement. Union City's very small urban lots make above-ground pools impractical in most locations. Pools must not be placed in front yards. Setback requirements from property lines apply under Chapter 223 (LDO). Contact the Building Department at (201) 348-5731 before installing any pool.
Above-ground pool without permit: stop-work/removal order. Improper barrier: mandatory fencing and fines.
