California Building Code §3109 and Health & Safety Code §115920-115929 require pool barriers in Port Hueneme. All residential pools must be enclosed by a fence or barrier at least 60 inches tall with self-closing, self-latching gates.
CBC §3109 and CA Health & Safety Code §115920 mandate that all residential swimming pools and spas be enclosed by a barrier. The barrier must be at least 60 inches (5 feet) tall, with no openings that allow passage of a 4-inch sphere. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching with the latch at least 54 inches above grade. The Oxnard Fire Department and City building inspectors verify pool barrier compliance. These requirements apply to all new pools and existing pools undergoing renovation. As of 2018 (AB 2977), at least one additional safety feature is required: pool cover, alarm, or self-latching devices.
Non-compliant pool barriers are a serious safety violation. Building permits will not be finaled without compliant barriers. Existing pools found without proper barriers may receive immediate correction notices. Failure to comply can result in fines and potential liability in drowning incidents.
