All fences in Live Oak must meet zoning setback, height, material, and permit standards, with additional requirements for corner lots, pool barriers, and properties near easements.
Live Oak fence requirements span multiple code sections. Fences must be constructed of approved materials (wood, vinyl, ornamental metal, masonry, chain-link in some zones), meet height limits (typically 6 feet rear, 3-4 feet front), maintain visibility triangles at corners, and stay within property lines. Fences cannot block drainage easements or utility easements without the utility agreement. Barbed wire and electric fences are restricted to agricultural or specific industrial zones. Temporary construction fencing is allowed during active permits. All permanent fences require a permit, and HOA approval may be separately required. Code enforcement responds to complaints, and non-compliant fences must be modified or removed at owner cost.
