Jurupa Valley, CA Swimming Pools & Spas: Fencing Requirements (2026)

The City of Jurupa Valley Building Department applies a primary barrier requirement under City of Jurupa Valley Municipal Code Section 6.30.030 together with California Health & Safety Code sections 115920-115929. The primary barrier must isolate the pool and/or spa from the house and public access, be at least 60 inches high, be non-climbable, and have access gates with self-closing and self-latching devices located at least 54 inches from the bottom of the gate. Where the house serves as part of the barrier, doors that provide direct access to the pool must have either self-closing and self-latching devices or exit alarms (an alarm noise or a verbal warning). Under state H&S Code section 115923, a qualifying enclosure must have gates that open away from the pool and self-latch no lower than 60 inches above the ground, a minimum height of 60 inches, a maximum ground clearance of two inches, no gaps allowing a 4-inch sphere to pass, and a smooth outer surface with no handholds or footholds a child under five could climb. Any new walls or fences needed to comply with the barrier requirements must be submitted as a separate permit.
