Dade City enforces the Florida Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act (FL §515). At least one approved safety feature is required: pool barrier, safety cover, door/window alarms, or door self-closing devices. Failure to comply is a second-degree misdemeanor.
Dade City's pool safety regulations require compliance with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act and applicable Florida state safety codes. All pool and spa drains must have anti-entrapment covers or safety vacuum release systems. Residential pools must have at least one additional safety feature: a pool alarm, an approved safety cover, or door alarms on all house exits leading to the pool area. Chemical storage must be in a locked, ventilated area out of children's reach. Depth markers must be placed at all entry points. Electrical equipment must be GFCI protected. Annual self-inspection checklists are recommended and may be required at permit renewal for pools associated with STR properties.
Pool safety violations carry fines of $200–$1,000. Non-compliant drain covers must be replaced within 30 days. Failure to meet safety standards may result in pool closure orders.
