Above-ground pools deeper than 24 inches qualify as 'swimming pools' under Fla. Stat. 515.25(8) and require both a Venice Ch. 88 permit and full compliance with the Residential Pool Safety Act, including barrier or alternative safety feature.
Inflatable and prefabricated above-ground pools sold at big-box stores are subject to the same safety-feature rules as in-ground pools. Removable ladders that can be secured up out of reach satisfy the access-prevention requirement only if combined with a perimeter barrier. The Venice Building Department issues permits for above-ground installations including the required electrical bonding and equipment.
Installing without a permit is a Ch. 88 violation under Sec. 1-14 with fines up to $500/day; ongoing safety-feature non-compliance is a misdemeanor under Fla. Stat. 515.29.
