Fencing Requirements
Residential swimming pools in Lakewood must be enclosed by a barrier meeting the 2021 International Residential Code Appendix AG (Section AG105) and the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC), both adopted by reference at LMC 15.05.020 through Washington's statewide code (RCW 19.27.031, WAC 51-51). General-use and limited-use public/community pools also follow WAC 246-260-031 (Washington DOH), requiring 60 to 72-inch barriers, self-closing/self-latching gates, and restricted openings. Fences not exceeding 6 feet in height generally do not need a separate zoning permit under LMC Title 18A, but a building permit is required for the pool itself.
