All fences in unincorporated Osceola County must be built of durable, uniform, weather-resistant, rust-proofed materials and kept in good condition. Front-yard single-family fences are limited to four feet. The owner must locate property lines first, and posts may extend six inches above the fence.
LDC 3.3.1(C) sets the county's fence performance standards: fences may be placed in any yard or adjacent to a lot line if they comply. Materials must be durable, uniform, weather-resistant, and rust-proofed. Fence height is measured from average adjacent grade to the top of the fence material, with posts allowed to extend six inches higher. Front-yard fences on single-family lots cannot exceed four feet unless the pre-October-15-2012 exemption applies. All fences must be maintained in good condition. Barbed wire is prohibited except for bona fide agriculture or where mandated by law.
Poorly maintained, prohibited-material, or over-height fences violate LDC 3.3.1(C) and are cited by Code Enforcement, with daily fines possible until the fence is repaired or replaced.
