Residential pool barriers in Indiantown must meet the Florida Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act (Fla. Stat. ch. 515) and the Florida Building Code. Barriers must be at least 48 inches high with no gaps greater than 4 inches and a maximum 2-inch ground clearance. Gate latches must be at least 54 inches above grade.
Indiantown enforces Fla. Stat. 515.27 and FBC pool-barrier standards through the Building Division. Every new residential pool, spa, or hot tub must include at least one approved safety feature: a 48-inch+ perimeter barrier on all sides, an approved safety pool cover, exit alarms on all doors and windows providing direct access, or self-closing/self-latching devices on all such doors. The barrier must have no gaps, openings, or footholds that allow a small child to squeeze through, crawl under, or climb over. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching with the release at least 54 inches above grade. After construction, Indiantown issues a Pool Safety Barrier Affidavit.
Failure to provide a compliant safety feature is a 2nd-degree misdemeanor under Fla. Stat. 515.29 (up to $500 fine and/or 60 days in jail), and the property owner must complete a state-mandated drowning-prevention training. Building Code violations can also result in stop-work orders and daily Special Magistrate fines.
