Santa Rosa requires pool barriers per California Building Code. All residential pools must have a fence or barrier at least 5 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates. Multiple layers of protection are required.
Under the California Building Code adopted by Santa Rosa, all residential swimming pools must be enclosed by a barrier at least 60 inches (5 feet) high. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching, with latches placed at least 54 inches above grade. Openings in fences must not allow passage of a 4-inch sphere. At least one additional safety feature is required: pool cover, door alarms, or self-closing doors with alarms leading to the pool area. New pools require inspection before filling.
Non-compliant pool barriers are a safety violation subject to immediate correction notices. The Building Division may red-tag a pool until barriers are brought into compliance.
