Summary

Full Breakdown
The city adopted the 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code as its swimming pool and spa code, covering design, construction, materials, use, occupancy, and maintenance of every pool and spa built within Cedar Park city limits and its extraterritorial jurisdiction. That adopted code, filed with the City Secretary and the building inspection office, carries the ISPSC's barrier and enclosure standards for keeping children and pets from unsupervised pool access. Cedar Park's own local amendments to the ISPSC touch permit fees, appeals, and penalties, not the barrier specifications, so builders must consult the adopted 2021 ISPSC text directly for exact fence-height, gate, and alarm requirements.
Violations & Fines
Violating any adopted ISPSC provision, including barrier rules, is a class C misdemeanor under § 3.01.001(j)(2)(E), fined per § 1.01.009; each day of noncompliance is a separate offense.
