Tarpon Springs Section 36.03 requires fences and walls to be constructed of durable, safe materials and maintained in good condition. Barbed wire, electrified, and hazardous fencing is generally prohibited in residential districts.
Section 36.03 governs fence and wall materials in Tarpon Springs. Permitted materials in residential districts typically include wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain-link, masonry, and PVC. Barbed wire, razor wire, and electrified fencing are generally prohibited in residential areas, though they may be allowed in industrial districts subject to specific setback and height rules. All fences must be maintained in safe condition, must not be dilapidated or unsafe, and must comply with Florida Building Code wind-load requirements for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone-adjacent regions. Special design standards apply in the Greektown and Historic District overlays where materials must be compatible with neighborhood character.
Use of prohibited materials (barbed wire in residential areas, hazardous components) triggers code enforcement notice, removal orders, and Special Magistrate fines.
