Corner lots in Ocoee require a clear sight visibility triangle of 25 feet from the intersection. Fences, landscaping, and structures over 30 inches tall are prohibited within the triangle under Ocoee LDC.
Ocoee Land Development Code (LDC) Article V establishes sight distance triangles at every street intersection and at major driveway intersections with public roads. The triangle is measured 25 feet back from the point where the two edge-of-pavement lines meet; within that triangle, nothing between 30 inches and 8 feet above grade may obstruct driver sight lines. This includes solid fences, masonry walls, hedges, dense shrubs, signs, and parked vehicles. Trees with clear trunks below 8 feet are generally acceptable. The rule aligns with AASHTO and FL DOT sight distance standards and is strictly enforced on Ocoee collectors (Clarke Road, Maguire Road, Ocoee-Apopka Road, Silver Star Road) and in school zones around Ocoee Elementary, Ocoee Middle, and Ocoee High. Corner-lot homeowners commonly need to step their fence back from the property corner diagonally to comply.
Code enforcement citation with 30-day compliance window; fines $50 to $250 per day until obstruction is removed. Repeat offenders cited to the Code Enforcement Board under Ocoee Code Chapter 7.
