Santa Clarita requires pool barriers under the California Building Code and SCMC. All swimming pools must be enclosed by a fence or barrier at least 60 inches high (California standard). Gates must be self-closing and self-latching.
California's pool barrier requirements are stricter than the national IRC standard. Barriers must be at least 60 inches high (vs. 48 inches nationally). Gates must be self-closing, self-latching, and open outward. No openings larger than 4 inches. The latch must be at least 54 inches from grade. Pool alarms or safety covers may be required as additional layers of protection under the Swimming Pool Safety Act.
Non-compliant pool barriers may result in enforcement action and fines. Building permits for new pools require barrier plan approval and inspection.
