Romeoville requires swimming pool enclosures per the International Building Code as adopted by the Village. Pool fences must be at least 4 feet (48 inches) high with self-closing, self-latching gates. Illinois requires a minimum 42-inch barrier, but local codes typically exceed this. Building permits are required for pool installation.
Romeoville enforces strict pool barrier requirements in city limits consistent with the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code. All pools, spas, and hot tubs over 24 inches deep must be enclosed by a barrier at least 48 inches tall on all sides. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching, with latches placed at least 54 inches above grade (on the pool side) to prevent child access. The barrier must have no openings that would allow passage of a 4-inch sphere. Chain-link fences used as pool barriers must have no more than 1.75-inch diamond openings. House walls may serve as one side of the barrier if all doors leading to the pool area have alarms or self-closing devices.
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.
