Winter Park requires permits for above-ground pools over 24 inches deep. Same FL 515 barrier and safety rules apply. Ladder must be removable or lockable.
Above-ground pools deeper than 24 inches in Winter Park require a building permit and must meet all FL 515 barrier requirements. If the pool wall itself is at least 48 inches above grade, it can serve as the barrier, but any ladder or steps must be removable, lockable, or surrounded by a 48-inch barrier with self-closing gate. Setback requirements match in-ground pools. HOAs commonly prohibit above-ground pools outright.
