Every pool in unincorporated Madison County must sit behind a barrier at least 48 inches high under the adopted 2018 ISPSC Section 305.2. The county issues no pool permit until the owner signs an agreement to meet the Pool Barrier Requirements.
Madison County enforces the pool barrier rules of the 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code across the unincorporated county. Section 305.2 sets the barrier at not less than 48 inches above grade on the side facing away from the pool, measured around the entire perimeter, and openings must reject a four-inch sphere. The county will not issue the pool permit until the owner submits a signed agreement to meet or exceed these Pool Barrier Requirements, and the barrier is verified at final inspection before the pool can be used.
A pool barrier under 48 inches, or one with gaps that pass a four-inch sphere, fails final inspection. The county withholds use of the pool until the barrier complies.
