NOTICE TO SWIMMING POOL OWNERS REGARDING
PENALTIES FOR NOT PROVIDING POOL BARRIER
I, (property owner’s name) ,
at (address of pool) ,
on this date , have read and understand this pool barrier notice and understand
the penalties for not complying with Florida Law. I have been informed that, prior to filling pool with
water, I will need approved inspections and a barrier as required by 515 Florida Statutes and section
R4501.17 of the 6
th
Edition FBC.
The Code requires pools to be protected by a barrier (an approved wall, fence or other substantial structure).
The barrier shall completely protect the pool and is intended to prevent unauthorized and /or unsupervised access
to the pool. Effective March 1, 2002, jurisdictions cannot approve a final inspection for a pool unless it meets the
following pool safety barrier requirements.
NOTE: An effective pool barrier must be provided. One, or a combination of the following methods, must be
employed to provide the barrier. Please read all of the following, as some of the methods inter-relate to each other.
A swimming pool with an approved safety pool cover complying with ASTM F1346.
The pool may be isolated from access by a fence type barrier. If so, it shall be at least 4 feet (48) high and
installed around the perimeter of the pool. Any openings in the barrier (railing, spacing, etc.) shall be less than
4 (inches). It must be designed to discourage climbing from the outside .
Access gates, when provided, shall be self-closing and shall comply with the requirements of Sections R4501.17.1.1
through R4501.17.1.7 and shall be equipped with a self-latching locking device located on the pool side of the gate. Where
the device release is located no less than 54 inches (1372 mm) from the bottom of the gate, the device release mechanism
may be located on either side of the gate and so placed that it cannot be reached by a young child over the top or through
any opening or gap from the outside. Gates that provide access to the swimming pool must open outward away from the
pool. The gates and barrier shall have no opening greater than
1
/
2
inch (12.7 mm) within 18 inches (457 mm) of the
release mechanism.
If the wall of the home is part of the required barrier, any doors or windows in that wall must be equipped with
an alarm that has a minimum sound pressure rating of 85 decibels at 10 feet and comply with UL 2017. A
delay/muting switch, at least 54 inches high, shall be provided for each door with an alarm (except as noted in
the next paragraph). Where a wall of a dwelling serves as part of the barrier, one of the following shall apply:
1. All doors and windows providing direct access from the home to the pool shall be equipped with an exit alarm
complying with UL 2017 that has a minimum sound pressure rating of 85 dBA at 10 feet (3048 mm). Any deactivation
switch shall be located at least 54 inches (1372 mm) above the threshold of the access. Separate alarms are not required
for each door or window if sensors wired to a central alarm sound when contact is broken at any opening.
Exceptions:
a. Screened or protected windows having a bottom sill height of 48 inches (1219 mm) or more measured from
the interior finished floor at the pool access level.
b. Windows facing the pool on floor above the first story.
c. Screened or protected pass-through kitchen windows 42 inches (1067 mm) or higher with a counter
beneath.
2. All doors providing direct access from the home to the pool must be equipped with a self-closing, self-latching device
with positive mechanical latching/locking installed a minimum of 54 inches (1372 mm) above the threshold, which is
approved by the authority having jurisdiction.
3. A swimming pool alarm that, when placed in a pool, sounds an alarm upon detection of an accidental or unauthorized
entrance into the water. Such pool alarm must meet and be independently certified to ASTM Standard F2208, titled
“Standard Safety Specification for Residential Pool Alarms,” which includes surface motion, pressure, sonar, laser, and
infrared alarms. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “swimming pool alarm” does not include any swimming
protection alarm device designed for individual use, such as an alarm attached to a child that sounds when the child
exceeds a certain distance or becomes submerged in water.
