Oxnard requires residential pools to comply with California pool safety standards including anti-entrapment drain covers, safety signage, and at least two approved safety features for new construction.
California law (Health & Safety Code §115920-115929) requires residential pools to have at least two of seven approved safety features: pool fencing, approved safety cover, door alarms, self-closing doors, pool alarm, removable mesh fencing, or other approved device. All pools must have compliant anti-entrapment drain covers meeting the Virginia Graeme Baker Act. CPR signage must be posted near the pool. New pool construction requires a building permit and inspection from Oxnard's building division.
Non-compliant pools may fail inspection, and owners may face citations until safety features are installed. Sale of a home with a non-compliant pool may be affected.
