Corona FAQ
Jurupa Valley FAQ
Does the two-feature rule apply to my existing pool?
Only when you remodel or pull a permit for substantial work. Pools permitted before Jan 1, 2018 are grandfathered, though the city recommends voluntary upgrades. Any new permit triggers full compliance.
Do I need a self-latching gate AND door alarms?
You need any two of the seven features. A compliant perimeter fence (§115923) + an ASTM F1346 safety cover is the most common combo. Door alarms + self-closing door device is another.
Who inspects HOA or apartment pools?
Riverside County Department of Environmental Health permits and inspects public pools — including community/HOA, hotel, gym, and apartment pools — under H&S §116025 et seq.
