Florida's Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act (FL Β§515.25 through Β§515.37) applies to all residential pools, spas, and hot tubs.

Maximum 4-inch gap at bottom; no gaps wider than 4 inches in fence mesh. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching with latch at minimum 54 inches above ground. House walls serving as barrier require approved door alarms, self-closing doors, or safety pool cover. Above-ground pools with sides 48 inches or higher with removable ladder may qualify. Pools built before October 1, 2000 are exempt unless property changes ownership, triggering 90-day compliance window under FL Β§515.27. HVHZ does not apply to Brevard but hurricane wind loads do.
