Oxnard requires all residential swimming pools to be enclosed by a barrier at least 5 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates. This complies with California Building Code pool safety requirements.
Under California Building Code and Oxnard's local building regulations (Chapter 14), all residential swimming pools must have a safety barrier at least 60 inches (5 feet) high. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching, with latches at least 54 inches above grade. The barrier must not have openings that allow passage of a 4-inch sphere. Doors from the home that provide direct access to the pool area must have alarms or self-closing mechanisms. Alternative safety devices may include approved pool covers or alarms.
Non-compliant pool barriers may result in building code violations, fines, and required corrective work. Pool permits may be withheld or revoked.
