Bevil Oaks Residents,
This is just a reminder that there are requirements for pools having enclosures/fences around them in Texas provided by the Texas Health and Safety Code. You are also required to pull a permit with the City for your pool. The permit costs are as follows:
In-ground- $190.00
Above-ground- $110.00
Chapter 757 establishes some minimum rules for pool enclosures. As a general rule in the state of Texas, all public and residential pools must have:
- An enclosed fence surrounding the pool or yard that is at least 48” in height.
- No gaps between the ground and bottom of the fence that are more than 4”.
- No chain-link or slats that can be climbed by children.
- A lockable, self-closing, self-latching gate for safe, easy entrance and exiting that is also at least 48” high.
- Specific locks and alarms for home doors and windows that open onto an indoor or patio pool.
