Huntersville requires a minimum 48-inch pool barrier around all residential pools per NC State Building Code Appendix V. Self-closing and self-latching gates are required with latches located at least 54 inches above grade. Fence openings cannot exceed 4 inches. Pools using a dwelling wall as part of the barrier must have alarmed doors or power safety covers.
NC Building Code adopts the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code requirements. Mesh safety fencing is acceptable if it meets 48-inch height and cannot be climbed. VGB Act compliant anti-entrapment drain covers are required. Barriers must be in place before final inspection sign-off and before the pool is filled.
Missing or non-compliant barrier: failed inspection and no certificate of occupancy. Post-installation removal: code enforcement action and civil penalties up to 500 dollars per day.
