A nuisance created by an unsecured swimming pool may be remediated by draining the pool or installing a pool cover capable of supporting the weight of a fully grown person. An owner will need a variance from the Board of Health for a pool cover. Additionally, a pool cover may require approval from the township.
Clermont County Public Health does not require above-ground swimming pools to be fenced. We recommend checking your local township regulations for fencing requirements.
In-ground pools must have fencing surrounding them. An in-ground swimming pool that is not fenced, is partially fenced, or has gaps in the fence four inches or larger, is in violation. Fence gates should be latched but do not have to be locked. We recommend checking your local township regulations for any additional fencing requirements.
