Palm Coast LDC 4.01.02.A.3.f flatly states: 'No barbed wire, razor wire, or electrically charged fence shall be erected, unless otherwise specified in this section. Broken glass, steel spikes, or other sharp objects intended to restrict access along the top edge of a fence or wall are prohibited.' Section 4.01.02.A.3.g adds: 'Chicken wire, field fences, and other similar fence types are prohibited, except in the utilization of bona-fide agricultural purposes in the AGR and EST-2 Districts.' Section 4.01.02.A.3.b prohibits chain-link, aluminum (except decorative aluminum fences), or similar fences in yards fronting along arterial and collector roadways. The limited exception in Section 4.01.02.B (Nonresidential districts - IND, COM, PSP) allows fences/walls needing extra security or safety to exceed maximum permitted height by up to 2 feet, with an additional 18 inches of barbed wire or other material, only upon approval by the Land Use Administrator. Section 4.01.02.D (AGR Districts) permits fences containing farm animals to use an 18-inch barbed wire or similar extension, limited to a maximum of three strands at two-foot intervals, and barbed wire shall not project outward over any public right-of-way or adjacent property. Chain-link, aluminum, and similar metal fences must be black or bronze; aluminum may also be white to match a screen room or enclosure. Chain link may not have slats, fabric, or similar screening materials attached.
Installing barbed wire, razor wire, or an electrified fence in any residential district, attaching broken glass or steel spikes to the top of a fence, installing chain-link or unfinished aluminum on a yard fronting an arterial or collector roadway, or installing chicken wire / field fence outside the AGR or EST-2 District violates Section 4.01.02. Code Enforcement at City Hall (160 Lake Avenue) may issue citations and require removal.
