Every residential pool, spa, and hot tub in Williamson County must be enclosed by a barrier at least four feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates. The barrier is a building-code requirement checked at permit and inspection.
Williamson County and its cities enforce the residential pool barrier rules in the adopted building code. Any pool, spa, or hot tub capable of holding more than about twenty-four inches of water needs a surrounding barrier at least forty-eight inches high, with no gaps that would pass a four-inch sphere and nothing on the outside a child could use as a foothold. Gates must swing away from the pool and be self-closing and self-latching, with the latch mounted high. A house wall can form part of the barrier only if doors to the pool have alarms or self-closing hardware. Barriers are checked before the pool is approved for use.
A pool without a compliant barrier fails inspection and cannot be approved for use until corrected. Beyond code fines, an unfenced pool exposes the owner to serious liability if a child is injured.
