Modesto enforces California state pool safety regulations including barrier requirements, anti-entrapment drain covers, and the Swimming Pool Safety Act. Building permits with electrical, plumbing, and barrier inspections are required for all new pools.
All swimming pools in Modesto must comply with the California Swimming Pool Safety Act and local building codes. Building permits are required for all new pools, spas, and hot tubs with inspections for electrical, plumbing, structural, and barrier compliance. Pool drains must have anti-entrapment covers compliant with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. Pool water must be maintained to prevent mosquito breeding — standing water is a health code violation. Electrical components must meet NEC requirements including GFCI protection. Pool maintenance chemicals must be stored safely. The Stanislaus County Environmental Health Division may inspect public and semi-public pools.
Pool without permit: stop-work order and retroactive permitting. Safety violations: correction notice and potential red-tag.
