Pool construction in unincorporated Yolo County must meet the California Building Code and Swimming Pool Safety Act — a 60-inch barrier, anti-entrapment drain covers, and electrical bonding. A county building permit and inspections are required.
Pool projects in unincorporated Yolo County run on state rules with county enforcement. The California Building Code and Swimming Pool Safety Act set the requirements: a barrier at least 60 inches high around the pool, anti-entrapment drain covers meeting VGB standards, and electrical bonding of pool equipment and metal components. The county building division issues the permit and inspects the work in stages. Get the permit before digging — retrofitting safety features to satisfy an inspector costs far more than building them in, and an unpermitted pool complicates any future sale.
