Okaloosa County, FL Fence Regulations: Height Limits (2026)

Okaloosa County's Land Development Code, Section 2.21.05.4, allows fences in any zoning district up to eight feet tall, more generous than the four-foot front-yard limit common elsewhere in Florida. Fences may run along or within any property line. The Clear Visibility Triangle in Section 6.03.15 keeps corners clear, and no fence may cross a public right-of-way or easement without permission. Okaloosa Island carries its own rule: fences in the street-front setback cannot exceed 42 inches, and none may stand within 25 feet of a street intersection. In a Special Flood Hazard Area near the Gulf, added requirements apply. Incorporated cities like Destin and Crestview set their own limits.
