Arizona enforces a uniform statewide swimming pool enclosure law requiring barriers around residential pools, with cities and counties bound to minimum standards but allowed to adopt stricter local rules.
ARS 36-1681 establishes minimum barrier requirements for residential swimming pools containing water more than eighteen inches deep. The barrier must be at least five feet high measured from the exterior, have no openings larger than four inches, and gates must be self-closing and self-latching with the latch at least fifty-four inches above the ground. Doors leading from a dwelling directly to the pool area must have audible alarms or other approved safety features. The law applies to pools constructed after 1991 and is enforced statewide, though municipalities may adopt stricter standards.
Violations are typically civil infractions; non-compliance can also create liability exposure if a drowning or injury occurs and may bar pool occupancy permits.
