We have a Michael Phelps above ground Momentum SwimSpa with a propulsion jet pool and fantastic hot tub. We did get a permit to have it installed but more because of the pool. We also had an electrician put in an 80 amp electrical box outside.
One thing to consider when installing anything above ground is that when you climb up the ladder, you can see over the fence. You need to respect your neighbor(s) so they do not feel like you are looking in their yard when you get in and out of the spa or pool, even though you may not be. We had a roller shade, huge, installed, with an electric switch inside the house that we use to put the shade down before we use our pool and then we put it back up when we come in the house. I think it is really important to make your neighbors feel they have privacy when you are 9 ft tall on the steps going in and out!
