New Port Richey requires pool barriers per Florida Building Code and FL §515 (Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act). Pool enclosures must comply with LDC Section 12.05.7 and be located no closer than 5 feet from side and rear lot lines. Barriers must be at least 48 inches high.
The city requires at least one approved safety method under FL Chapter 515. A safety barrier must protect the pool perimeter during construction after excavation. Failure to have safety methods installed at final inspection constitutes a second-degree misdemeanor under FL §775.082/775.083. Pool fencing must also comply with the city's general fence ordinance standards.
Pool barrier violations are treated seriously due to child safety. Violations carry immediate fines of $250–$1,000 and mandatory correction within 48 hours. Repeated non-compliance may result in pool condemnation orders.
