Arizona law requires a pool barrier statewide. A.R.S. §36-1681 mandates a five-foot wall, fence, or barrier around the pool with self-latching gates—the rule holds even in the cooler high country.
A backyard pool barrier is not optional anywhere in Arizona, high country included. A.R.S. §36-1681 requires residential pools and contained bodies of water over a set depth to be enclosed by at least a five-foot wall, fence, or barrier measured on the outside, with gates that are self-closing and self-latching and latches placed high out of a child's reach. Openings must be small enough to stop a child slipping through. A house wall can form part of the barrier only if doors to the pool have approved protection. Coconino County and the cities enforce this at permit and inspection.
A residential pool without a compliant §36-1681 barrier fails inspection and must be corrected before use. An unfenced pool is also a powerful negligence and attractive-nuisance exposure if a child drowns.
