Hillsborough County does not require notice to or consent from adjoining neighbors before erecting a fence on your own property. Fences must be entirely within the owner's property line unless a written shared-fence agreement is recorded.
The 'good side out' convention is not a county requirement but is common in HOA rules. A survey is strongly recommended before installation to avoid encroachment disputes — fences placed even inches over the line can be required to be relocated. Spite-fence claims are governed by Florida common law, not the County code.
Encroachment disputes are civil matters between owners; the County will not adjudicate property-line disagreements.
