Residential pools in Huntington Beach must comply with the California Building Code and the California Swimming Pool Safety Act. Multiple layers of safety features are required.
Under California's Swimming Pool Safety Act (Health and Safety Code Sections 115920-115929), residential pools require at least two safety features from a specified list: fencing, covers, alarms, self-latching doors, and others. A building permit is required before pool construction. Pools must have VGB Act-compliant drain covers, proper electrical bonding, and adequate circulation systems. The Huntington Beach Building Division inspects pool installations. Neglected pools that create health hazards may trigger abatement orders.
Pool construction without a permit results in fines. Non-compliance with the Swimming Pool Safety Act may result in citations.
