Shawnee requires residential pools to be enclosed by a barrier under its adopted building code (based on the International Residential / Swimming Pool & Spa Code) — generally a minimum 4-foot barrier with self-closing, self-latching gates. The building department enforces at permit and inspection.
Shawnee's pool-barrier rules come through its adopted building code, based on the International Residential Code and the Swimming Pool & Spa Code. The baseline: residential pools holding more than 24 inches of water need a barrier at least 4 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates. The building department verifies the barrier when it issues the pool permit and at inspection, so the fence is not optional or something to add later — it is part of getting the pool approved in the first place.
