Yorba Linda regulates spas and hot tubs as swimming pools when water exceeds 18 inches deep, requiring permits and safety features. Self-contained spas and hot tubs are exempt from the barrier rules if fitted with a listed ASTM F1346 locking safety cover.
Under Municipal Code Chapter 15.32 and the city's pool safety standards, spas and hot tubs holding water over 18 inches deep fall under the swimming-pool definition and require building, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical permits. New or remodeled spas generally must satisfy the two-of-seven drowning-prevention requirement. However, self-contained spas or hot tubs are exempt from the barrier and safety-feature requirements if equipped with a locking safety cover listed to comply with ASTM F1346. Spa electrical and equipment work must meet the California Electrical Code, and spa water must be discharged to the sanitary sewer under the Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code.
Installing a spa over 18 inches deep without permits or safety cover; unlisted or missing locking cover on an exempt self-contained spa.
