In Menifee, a non-self-contained spa or hot tub must meet the same permit and barrier requirements as a swimming pool, but a self-contained spa with a listed ASTM F1346 safety cover is exempt from the barrier handout requirements.
The City of Menifee Building & Safety barrier handout states that protection for a non-self-contained spa or hot tub shall comply with the same requirements as a swimming pool, meaning the 60-inch barrier, gate, and door-protection rules apply. The key exception: a self-contained spa or hot tub equipped with a listed safety cover complying with ASTM F1346-91 is exempt from the handout's barrier requirements. Spa installations still go through the city permit process, with site plans showing equipment locations, gas line sizing and material if applicable, and electrical conduit details, and electrical work must follow the 2022 California Electrical Code with GFCI protection.
An uncovered, non-self-contained spa without a compliant barrier fails city inspection; unpermitted spa electrical or gas work is subject to correction notices and code enforcement action.
