Brick Township requires all swimming pools to be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches high per the NJ UCC (N.J.A.C. 5:23). The local code adds that fences must be at least 6 feet from the pool water's edge. Pool barriers must be permanent, non-climbable, with self-closing, self-latching gates.
New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code (N.J.A.C. 5:23) mandates a permanent barrier of at least 48 inches surrounding all swimming pools. Brick Township's local zoning adds that pool fences must be placed at least 6 feet from the water's edge. The barrier must be non-climbable from the outside and include self-closing, self-latching gates. In-ground pools may not be in the front yard and must maintain 5-foot side and rear setbacks. Pools within 15 feet of a bulkhead waterward face are prohibited. A final inspection from the Engineering Department is required before a certificate of occupancy is issued. Pool fence construction requires both a zoning permit and UCC permit.
Non-compliant barriers may result in stop-work orders, fines, and denial of certificate of occupancy.
