Showing ordinances that apply to Hillsboro Pines, FL
Hillsboro Pines is an unincorporated community (population 496) in Broward County, Florida. Because Hillsboro Pines is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Broward County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The material restrictions rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Broward permits wood, aluminum, vinyl, masonry, and chain link but bans barbed wire and electric fencing in residential zones and requires hurricane-rated hardware throughout.
Broward County Code Chapter 39 and adopted Florida Building Code HVHZ provisions dictate acceptable fence materials. Permitted materials include pressure-treated wood, powder-coated aluminum, hurricane-grade PVC/vinyl, concrete masonry units (CMU), and galvanized chain link. Prohibited in residential districts: barbed wire, razor wire, and electrified strands, except on licensed agricultural parcels or with a commercial/industrial variance. All metal hardware must be hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel to resist the salt-air corrosion common in coastal Broward. Fences within 2,500 feet of the Atlantic are subject to additional corrosion-resistance specifications under the Florida Building Code. Painted and stained fences are allowed; however, many Broward HOAs limit colors to earth tones.
