Citrus County Land Development Code limits residential fences and walls to a maximum of 6 feet in height. In any visibility triangle at street corners or driveways, no fence, wall, hedge, or vegetation may exceed 30 inches above the average road grade.
The Citrus County Land Development Code (Chapter 3 — Use Standards) governs fence heights for unincorporated areas of the county. Residential districts are capped at 6 feet maximum overall fence/wall height. Sight-distance triangles at intersections and driveway entrances require any fence, wall, hedge, or other obstruction to remain at or below 30 inches measured from the average grade of the adjacent road, to preserve driver visibility. Building permits are typically required when fence height exceeds certain thresholds — check with the Citrus County Building Division before installation.
Code enforcement may issue notice of violation requiring removal or shortening of non-compliant fences. Continued non-compliance can result in daily fines under Chapter 17 (Code Enforcement) of the Citrus County Code of Ordinances. Contact the Citrus County Building Division for permit requirements.
