Do you have to have a fence around an above ground pool if you live in the county?

In: Law & Legal Issues, Swimming Pools, Property Law [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

You'll need to see if your county has a code concerning that. We have a pool, but live in the city and our city had a code that was more stringent than the state code.

Keep in mind liability. If someone or something (pet) drowns in your pool and you don't have it secured you could face some serious financial problems.
