All districts
Residential fences are capped at 8 feet in height (measured from finished grade), except enclosures for recreational/sporting facilities, which the Zoning Administrator evaluates individually. On single-family-zoned property, fences must sit at least 25 feet from the front property line (or even with the front building corners, whichever is farther) and, where the rear yard abuts a public right-of-way, at least 25 feet from the rear property line (waivable by the Zoning Administrator). Corner lots may place a fence up to the side street property line if it does not encroach the sight triangle. Permitted materials include chain link, aluminum, vinyl-coated steel, cedar/oak/cypress/redwood/pressure-treated lumber, and code-compliant masonry (masonry is prohibited between the front building line and front property line unless used as a limited landscape treatment under subsection (H), capped at 4 feet with a 2-foot break every 20 feet). Chicken wire and barbed wire are prohibited in residential districts. Pool enclosures must meet the Florida Building Code. Fences on vacant residential lots require common ownership with an adjoining primary-use lot in the same zoning district and future land use designation.
