Pasco County Land Development Code limits residential fences to 4 feet in areas that must not obstruct vision (within 15 feet of rear property lines or mean high-water lines). Side yard fences may be up to 6 feet. Business district fences for certain uses must be at least 8 feet.
Pasco County zoning code regulates fence height by yard location. Rear and side yard fences typically limited to 6 feet. Front yard fences limited to 4 feet. Corner lots have visibility triangle requirements at intersections. Retaining walls serving as fences have combined height calculated. Taller fences require a variance. In coastal and High Velocity Hurricane Zones, fences must meet FL Building Code wind load requirements. HOAs and CDDs may impose lower limits or specific styles.
Code compliance notice. Modify or remove non-compliant fence. Fines if not corrected.
