Unincorporated Orange County limits residential fences to 6 feet in rear and side yards and 4 feet in front yards. Corner lots and waterfront parcels have additional visibility and shoreline setback rules.
Orange County Code Chapter 38 (Zoning) governs fence height. Lakefront lots along the Butler Chain, Lake Conway, Lake Apopka, and the Econlockhatchee River are subject to shoreline protection setbacks and often limited to 4-foot open fencing near the water. Agricultural zones allow up to 8-foot fences. Fences over 6 feet require permits and engineered drawings.
Code Enforcement citation, removal order, or fines up to 500 dollars per day until compliance is achieved.
