In Arkansas a pool building permit is required for most in-ground pool installations, generally mandated at the local municipal or county level. Regulations often require a fence or safety barrier at least 48 inches high, with specific structural and electrical inspections needed. Licensed, specialized contractors are typically required for construction.
