Other rules to know
- The city's Types of Permits page lists fence construction (PVC, wood, aluminum, masonry, vinyl coated chain link or other ornamental fence or wall) under the Miscellaneous Accessory Structure permit type.
- Land Development Code section 14-4-6.A.3(e) allows fences and walls in required setback zones if they meet section 14-6-5 (Fences and Walls); the text of 14-6-5 could not be opened, so heights are not recorded.
Before you dig
Call Sunshine 811 before digging post holes (dial 811 or file online at sunshine811.com) at least two full business days ahead. Find your lot corner markers and keep the fence on your side of the line. County parcel maps can be off by several feet; if you're not sure where the line is, a licensed land surveyor can stake it.
