Titusville, FL Fence Regulations: Material Restrictions (2026)

Section 30-181, the general-provisions section of Division 4, Fences/Walls, sets the citywide material rules that apply on top of the height and location standards in Section 30-182. Subsection (e) requires fences and walls to be fabricated from wood, aluminum, wrought iron, vinyl, brick or other approved materials manufactured specifically for fences and walls, and separately bans non-traditional fence materials such as tires, mufflers, hubcaps, galvanized roofing and corrugated metal. Subsection (f) adds a dangerous-materials ban that reaches every fence and wall in the city except as specifically noted in this article: no wall or fence may be built wholly or partly of barbed wire, razor wire, electrified wire, glass shards, or other similarly dangerous material.

The article carves out its own exception in subsection (g): barbed wire is allowed in conjunction with, or accessory to, a permitted agricultural use. A second, separate exception lives in Section 30-183: barbed wire is allowed in limited quantities atop a 'high security fence' (six to eight feet tall, used around outdoor storage in commercial, industrial or planned industrial development) as three strands on arms angled 45 degrees off the fence and kept behind the property line, and electrified wire is allowed only on an interior high-security fence set back at least 15 feet from the exterior fence, with warning signage posted at least every 50 feet.

Section 30-181(h) separately bars any fence from encroaching into a visibility triangle at an intersection or driveway. The material rules were adopted by Ordinance No. 33-2018, Section 2, July 24, 2018.
