What Applies at the County Level
Hamilton County Plan Commission
Hamilton County's own zoning ordinance defines a swimming pool as any pool, pond, lake, or open tank containing at least 18 inches of water at any point maintained by the owner, a lower depth threshold than the 24-inch figure used by most other jurisdictions, and distinguishes a private pool used only by the owner and guests from a public pool operated for compensation.
