All swimming pools in Fillmore must be enclosed by a barrier at least 60 inches high with self-closing, self-latching gates per California Building Code. This applies to in-ground, above-ground, and permanent spa installations. Additional safety features are also required.
California Building Code Chapter 31 and the Swimming Pool Safety Act (Health & Safety Code §115920-115929) mandate pool enclosure requirements enforced in Fillmore. All residential pools, spas, and hot tubs with water depth of 18 inches or more must be enclosed by a barrier at least 60 inches high. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching with the release mechanism at least 54 inches above grade on the pool side. No openings in the barrier may allow passage of a 4-inch sphere. At least one additional safety feature is required: pool alarm, safety cover, self-closing/self-latching doors with alarms from house to pool, or other approved device. Fencing must not have horizontal rails or other features that create a climbing aid for children. Pool barrier compliance is verified during building permit inspections and at property sale.
Non-compliant pool fencing is a serious safety violation. Building inspectors can issue correction notices requiring immediate remediation. Property owners face civil liability if a drowning or injury occurs due to inadequate barriers.
