Beyond the barrier, Hernando County pools must add at least one safety feature under Fla. Stat. §515.27 — an approved cover, door and window exit alarms, self-latching doors, or a pool alarm.
The Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act requires every new Hernando County pool to include at least one approved safety feature before it passes final inspection: an approved safety pool cover, exit alarms on doors and windows reading 85 dB at 10 feet, self-closing self-latching doors with the release 54 inches up, or an ASTM F2208 pool alarm. Federal law, the Virginia Graeme Baker Act, requires anti-entrapment drain covers. Pool safety compliance must be disclosed at sale, which matters in Spring Hill and Brooksville where resale pools are common.
Missing safety features block the certificate of completion and draw a correction order with fines. Local building officials enforce §515, and non-compliance carries drowning liability and homeowner insurance consequences.
