Dunedin caps fences at 4 feet forward of the front building line and 6 feet behind it on residential lots. Sight visibility must be maintained near street corners and driveway intersections to protect drivers and pedestrians.
Section 105-26.1 of the Dunedin Code limits fences forward of the front or secondary front building line to 48 inches (4 feet). Behind the front building line, fences may rise to 6 feet. Special provisions apply for parcels abutting named lakes or St. Joseph Sound. Corner lots and driveway intersections must preserve clear sight triangles, so taller solid fencing near street corners is restricted. Decorative columns and posts may exceed the height cap by limited amounts. Fences in commercial and industrial districts have separate maximums, and any fence over the standard limits requires variance review through the planning department.
Fences exceeding height limits may receive code compliance notices, daily fines up to $250, and removal or modification orders until brought into compliance.
