Broward sits inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so fences must be engineered to 170 mph ultimate wind speeds with deep concrete post embedment and approved materials.
Broward County is one of only two Florida counties (with Miami-Dade) inside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) defined by the Florida Building Code. Every fence must meet HVHZ wind-load requirements: posts set in concrete footings at least 24 to 36 inches deep, spacing typically 6 to 8 feet on center, and products that carry Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA) approval. Wood fences use pressure-treated Southern yellow pine rated for ground contact; aluminum picket fences must be wind-rated; PVC fences must be hurricane-grade with aluminum-reinforced rails. Chain link is permitted but generally prohibited in front yards by most Broward HOAs. Barbed wire and electric fences are restricted to agricultural and industrial zones.
