Unincorporated Sarpy County sets a taller bar than the base building code: Section 34.9.3 requires every outdoor pool to be fully enclosed by a fence or wall at least 60 inches high, with no gap wider than 4 inches.
Section 34.9.3 of the Sarpy County Zoning Regulations governs pool fences in the unincorporated county. The barrier must stand at least 60 inches (five feet) tall, higher than the 48-inch floor in the base residential code, and no opening, hole, or gap may exceed 4 inches; picket spacing is capped at 4 inches too. A house wall or accessory building may form part of the enclosure. The rule reaches any outdoor pool 24 inches or more in depth. Bellevue, Papillion, and La Vista run their own pool-fence ordinances inside their limits.
A pool without the 60-inch enclosure, or with gaps over 4 inches, fails inspection and cannot be filled or used. The property owner is directly liable for providing and maintaining the barrier.
