Pool barriers in Indiantown must meet the Florida Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act (Fla. Stat. ch. 515) and the Florida Building Code. Minimum 48 inches high, max 4-inch openings, max 2-inch ground gap, and gate latches at least 54 inches above grade.
The Village enforces FBC and Fla. Stat. 515 pool-barrier requirements through the Building Division. All new residential pools must have at least one approved safety feature under Fla. Stat. 515.27: 48-inch+ perimeter barrier with no climbable openings, an approved safety pool cover meeting ASTM F1346, exit alarms on all doors/windows that open directly to the pool area, or self-closing/self-latching devices on all doors providing direct access. Barriers must not have gaps or footholds that allow a child to crawl under, squeeze through, or climb. Gates must swing away from the pool, be self-closing and self-latching, with the release at least 54 inches above grade. The Pool Safety Barrier Affidavit must be filed with the Village before final inspection.
Failure to provide a compliant safety feature is a 2nd-degree misdemeanor under Fla. Stat. 515.29 (up to $500 fine and/or 60 days in jail) and triggers mandatory drowning-prevention training for the owner. The Building Division can also issue stop-work orders.
