Daytona Beach, FL Fence Regulations: Height Limits (2026)

4, Height, of the Land Development Code sets the baseline: fences and walls cannot exceed four feet along and between the front lot line and the front of the structure, and cannot exceed eight feet anywhere else on the lot. Industrial districts get one exception, a six-foot masonry wall allowed in the front yard for site screening if City staff finds no negative impact. Chain link fencing behind the front of the structure tops out at eight feet in Industrial districts and six feet everywhere else, and only tennis courts, basketball courts, and similar recreational facilities can use vinyl-coated chain link taller than six feet.

Wrought iron fences are capped at six feet in every zoning district, though decorative columns can rise up to 12 inches above that. Hedges follow the same split as fences and walls, four feet in the front-yard zone and eight feet elsewhere. b. H, Sight Triangles, limits fencing, berms, walls, and landscaping to three feet above grade within the sight triangles required at street, alley, and driveway intersections, so a compliant six- or eight-foot fence still has to drop to three feet near a corner or driveway apron.
