Showing ordinances that apply to Cal-Nev-Ari, NV
Cal-Nev-Ari is an unincorporated community (population 144) in Clark County, Nevada. Because Cal-Nev-Ari is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Clark County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The pool barriers rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Under NRS 461A, any residential pool over 18 inches deep in Clark County must have a 5-foot barrier with self-closing, self-latching gates. Mesh barriers and door alarms may serve as secondary barriers.
Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 461A establishes the statewide residential pool safety standard: any pool, spa, or other body of water deeper than 18 inches on private residential property must be enclosed by a barrier at least 5 feet high with no more than 2 inches of clearance at the bottom, no footholds or handholds, and a self-closing self-latching gate with the latch at least 54 inches above the ground. Clark County adopts NRS 461A through Title 22 and Title 30 and the Department of Building and Fire Prevention enforces barrier requirements at the time of pool construction and during complaint inspections. A dwelling wall may form part of the barrier if all doors leading from the home to the pool area have either approved self-closing self-latching hardware or a door alarm meeting UL 2017. Removable mesh safety fencing (ASTM F2286) is accepted as an approved barrier. Anti-entrapment covers per the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act are required on all new suction outlets. Clark County has a high per-capita child drowning rate, and Code Enforcement responds quickly to reports of an uncovered or unfenced pool. Failure to maintain the barrier is a misdemeanor under NRS 461A.245.
Pool over 18 in deep without 5 ft barrier: NRS 461A.245 misdemeanor plus Building and Fire Prevention citation. Broken gate latch: immediate correction order. Unfenced construction pool: stop work.
