Broken Arrow requires pool compliance with the adopted 2015 IRC and ISPSC. Pools deeper than 24 inches need barriers. If the dwelling forms part of the barrier, door alarms or a powered safety cover is required. Above-ground pool ladders must be removable or securable. Spas/hot tubs with childproof covers may be exempt from barrier requirements. A building permit and final inspection are required for all new pool installations.
Broken Arrow enforces pool safety per Oklahoma building code and the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. Anti-entrapment drain covers required on all pools. Residential pools should have multiple safety features: barrier, safety cover, door alarms, or self-latching devices. CPR signage recommended. Depth markers required. Homeowner insurance implications significant for non-compliance. Real estate disclosure required at sale.
Non-compliant safety: correction order. Fines $100 to $500. Disclosure required at sale.
