Under Section 155.5302 of the Pompano Beach Zoning Code, fences are permitted along property perimeters. Florida law does not require neighbors to share fence costs. Property owners installing fences must ensure the fence is entirely on their property. Standard practice is to install the finished side facing outward (toward the neighbor). Fences must comply with height limits for the applicable yard (front, side, rear). Property line disputes should be resolved through a survey. Fence placement disputes between neighbors are civil matters handled through the courts. The city does not mediate private fence disputes but enforces code compliance for setbacks and height.
Fences encroaching on neighboring property are civil trespass matters. Height violations are enforced through Code Compliance.
