Pools in unincorporated Yolo County must be enclosed under the California Building Code and Swimming Pool Safety Act: a barrier at least 60 inches (5 feet) high with self-closing, self-latching gates, plus at least one additional drowning-prevention feature.
Unincorporated Yolo County enforces California's pool-barrier standard without local variation: pools must be enclosed by a barrier at least 60 inches — five feet — high, with gates that self-close and self-latch, under the Building Code and Swimming Pool Safety Act (Health & Safety Code §115920 and following). The law also requires at least one additional drowning-prevention feature beyond the barrier — a compliant cover, alarm, or protected door. The strict classification is earned; these rules exist because of child drownings, and enforcement reflects that.
