1 rule for unincorporated Dukes County, Massachusetts.
Verified from official government sources
Dukes County (Martha's Vineyard and the Elizabeth Islands) does not enforce its own pool barrier ordinance; pool fencing across the county's 7 towns (Aquinnah, Chilmark, Edgartown, Gosnold, Oak Bluffs, Tisbury, West Tisbury) is regulated through the Massachusetts State Building Code 780 CMR, which adopts the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) requiring a 48-inch barrier for residential pools, plus MGL c.140 §206 and 105 CMR 435 for public/semipublic pools requiring a 6-foot fence. Construction permits and inspections are issued by each town's building department; public pools are licensed and inspected by each town's board of health, with regional support from Dukes County Health Council.
