Pools deeper than 24 inches in Grove City must be surrounded by a 48-inch barrier with self-closing, self-latching gates per the Ohio Residential Code adopted under OAC 4101:8.
The Ohio Residential Code Section AG105 applies to all residential pools and requires a barrier at least 48 inches above grade, with no openings larger than 4 inches. Gates must open outward away from the pool, be self-closing, and self-latching with the release at least 54 inches above grade. Above-ground pools with 48-inch walls can use the pool wall as part of the barrier if the ladder is removable or lockable. Grove City Building Division inspects pool barriers before final approval.
Failure to install a compliant barrier can result in a red tag and denial of occupancy until corrected. Civil penalties up to 500 dollars for continued non-compliance.
