Private pools on unincorporated Weld County land follow the barrier rules in the county's adopted 2018 ISPSC (a 48-inch enclosure with self-latching gates). Public and semi-public pools follow the stricter state rule: a 60-inch fence with self-closing, self-latching gates.
Residential pool barriers on unincorporated land are governed by the 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code that Weld County adopted, which requires an enclosing barrier at least 48 inches high with self-closing, self-latching gates. Public and semi-public pools fall under Colorado health regulation 5 CCR 1003-5, Section 3.24, which is stricter. Separate wading pools must be completely fenced with a three-foot-high fence. Home-rule cities such as Greeley and Evans apply their own adopted building codes within their limits.
Operating or maintaining a pool without a compliant barrier violates the county's adopted building code and, for public pools, the state pool regulation enforced by the health department.
