Pompano Beach, FL Fence Regulations: Material Restrictions (2026)

2 prohibits fences using barbed, razor, or concertina wire and aboveground electrified fences in all zoning districts citywide, with no residential exception built into the base rule. iv: an owner, tenant, or public-agency representative can submit a site security plan to the Development Services Director proposing barbed or concertina wire (or a taller fence than the district otherwise allows), and the Director may approve it, with conditions, only after finding both that the property's location, condition, use, or history of activity puts it at significantly greater risk of theft or damage than surrounding land, and that the taller or wire-topped fence will not significantly hurt the security, function, appearance, or value of adjacent or surrounding land.

The same subsection carves out underground electric fences used to control domestic animals, which remain allowed without a security plan because they present none of the exposed-hazard concerns of aboveground wire. G also separately bans chain link fencing abutting an arterial or collector street on the Broward County Trafficways Plan, and bans fences built from debris, junk, rolled plastic, sheet metal, plywood, or other waste materials unless those materials have been recycled into products marketed as resembling new building materials.
