What are the requirements for swimming pools, inflatable pools and hot tubs?

ANY pool or tub that is capable of holding 24 inches of water or more is required to have a minimum of a 4-foot barrier around the pool.  This could be a fence around your backyard that is a minimum of 4-foot-tall which has a self-closing and lockable gate.  The sides of the pool can also work as the 4-foot barrier or the barrier can be placed on top of the pool wall.  In these cases, when the pool is not in use, all access to the pool must be removed.  Permits also need to be obtained for swimming pools and hot tubs.
