Arizona's pool barrier law, A.R.S. §36-1681, is among the strictest in the nation. A Coconino County residential pool must be enclosed by at least a five-foot wall, fence, or barrier with a self-closing, self-latching gate.
A.R.S. §36-1681 governs pool barriers statewide, and Coconino County enforces it through its 2018 IRC building code. The barrier must be at least five feet high measured on the outside, with no opening a four-inch sphere can pass and no climbable features near the top. Pedestrian gates must be self-closing and self-latching, with the latch at least 54 inches above the ground or on the pool side. Where a house wall forms part of the enclosure, doors need self-latching hardware or the pool needs a motorized safety cover. The five-foot rule is stricter than the 48-inch standard used in many states.
A barrier under five feet, an opening a four-inch sphere passes, or a gate that does not self-close and self-latch fails inspection. Non-compliance also carries serious civil liability if a child drowns.
