Menifee requires swimming pools and spas to be enclosed by walls or fences at least 5 feet high per the California Building Code, and state law adds that new or remodeled residential pools must include at least two of seven drowning-prevention safety features.
Menifee Municipal Code Section 9.185.020(F) requires swimming pools, spas, and similar features to be enclosed by walls or fences no less than 5 feet in height per the California Building Code. The state Swimming Pool Safety Act (Health and Safety Code Sec. 115922) further requires that when a building permit is issued for a new or remodeled pool or spa at a private single-family home, it must be equipped with at least two of seven listed drowning-prevention features, such as an isolating enclosure, removable mesh fencing with a self-closing self-latching gate, an approved safety cover, exit alarms, self-latching doors, or an in-water alarm. Pool enclosures also remain subject to the fence height and material standards of Chapter 9.185.
A pool permit cannot be finaled without compliant barriers and safety features; an unfenced pool is a safety hazard subject to immediate code enforcement action and potential civil liability.
