Naperville adopts the 2018 IRC and International Swimming Pool and Spa Code with local amendments. All pools require permits and inspections. Barrier requirements, drain covers, and electrical safety standards apply to all residential pools.
Naperville's pool safety regulations are based on the 2018 International Residential Code and International Swimming Pool and Spa Code as adopted with local amendments under Title 5, Chapter 1. All pools over 24 inches deep require permits and must pass inspections. Safety requirements include compliant barriers with self-closing gates, proper drain covers to prevent entrapment, electrical bonding and grounding per NEC standards, and proper drainage to prevent flooding of neighboring properties. The Naperville Electric Utility may need to be consulted for pools near electrical infrastructure. Pools must maintain setbacks from property lines per zoning requirements. The city's TED Business Group oversees pool permit inspections.
Non-compliant pool: mandatory corrections required. Electrical safety violations: immediate stop-use order. Drain cover non-compliance: violation requiring immediate replacement.
