Cedar Park requires pool barriers at least 48 inches tall with self-closing, self-latching gates per the adopted 2021 ISPSC and Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 757.
Cedar Park has adopted the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) and references it in the city's Swimming Pool and Spa Permit Guidelines. Barriers must be a minimum of 48 inches in height, must not have openings allowing passage of a 4-inch sphere, and gates must be self-closing and self-latching with the latch located at least 54 inches above the ground (per ISPSC Section 305). Chain-link is generally restricted as a pool barrier under the ISPSC. Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 757 also imposes statewide minimum standards for residential pool enclosures, which the city enforces. Pool/spa plans must include fence details, gates, latches, and door alarms (for any door from the dwelling that opens directly to the pool area). Above-ground prefabricated pools less than 24 inches deep and 5,000 gallons do not require a building permit, but barrier rules still apply to permanent pools.
Operating a pool without a compliant barrier is a violation of Article 3.01 and Texas HSC Ch. 757; subject to stop-use orders, permit revocation, and general penalty under Article 1.01 (up to $2,000/day for health-and-safety violations). Failure to maintain barriers can also expose owners to civil liability.
