Jenks requires pool compliance with adopted building codes. Pools deeper than 24 inches need barriers. If the dwelling forms part of the barrier, door alarms or a powered safety cover is required. Residential pools (private home use or communities of 30 or fewer homes) are exempt from state public bathing requirements. All other pools are classified as commercial and require additional permits and inspections.
Jenks 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.
