Cocoa's Appendix A Zoning code establishes fence height limits. Front yard fences are limited to 4 feet and rear/side fences to 6 feet. Historic Cocoa Village properties face additional design restrictions through the historic preservation board.
Cocoa's fence height regulations for city limits set maximum heights of 4 feet in front yard setback areas and 6 feet in side and rear yards. On corner lots, fences within the sight triangle (typically 25 feet from the intersection of property lines) must not exceed 3 feet to maintain visibility for motorists. Fences on slopes or retaining walls exceeding 4 feet in total height may require structural engineering review and a building permit. Decorative extensions (lattice, finials) may add up to 1 foot beyond the base height limit.
Fences exceeding height limits receive a notice to comply with a 30-day correction deadline. Failure to comply carries fines of $50–$200 per day until the fence is brought into compliance.
