Pool construction in unincorporated Marin County must meet the California Building Code and Swimming Pool Safety Act — a 60-inch barrier, anti-entrapment drain covers, and electrical bonding. A county building permit and inspections are required.
Pool construction in unincorporated Marin County goes through the county's building process under the California Building Code (Title 24) and the Swimming Pool Safety Act. The standards are the state's familiar trio: a barrier at least 60 inches — five feet — controlling access to the water, VGB-compliant anti-entrapment drain covers, and electrical bonding for the pool's metal components and equipment. A county building permit is required, and inspections verify each system before the pool operates. County Building staff can confirm the details at plan stage, which is where compliance problems are cheapest to fix.
