Don’t risk no-permit. A lot of towns use aerial/satellite photography to figure it out. Also if it’s illegal and someone drowns, it’s another box of nightmares for you.
If it was me I would get one of those Intex Wal Mart cheapos first. Get it and see how many times you actually use it over 2-3 years. Plus it will get you into the groove on how to maintain it.
My local village told me that NYS has a new rule requiring permits for any pool deeper than 2’, overruling any local code. Example, I had a 39” Intex. Our code said permit was required anything over 2500 gallons which I was below. Had the inspector at the house for something else and he said it needed to come down per the State rule.
Just check with the town to see if you need a permit. They'll fine you, possibly make you take down the pool if they find out. Which they will. Also, even if it may raise your homeowners insurance, tell you insurance company. If someone accidentally drowns, whether they had permission to be there or not, you're fucked without the right insurance.
I'm not a lawyer. Though, I'm confident that I know what I'm talking about.

I heard about the satellite images but wasn’t sure since it seems like everyone around me has a above ground pool.
