Pasco County, FL Fence Regulations: Permit Requirements (2026)

Per the Pasco County Building Construction Services (BCS) Residential Fences & Walls permit submittal requirements, a building permit is not usually required when building a fence; fences built entirely of chain link, wood, PVC, or shrubbery do not require a permit. A permit is required for concrete or block walls, fences with columns, block corners interspaced with other materials, gabion walls, and any fence or wall requiring footers or structural components. Permit submittals must include the project address/legal description, contractor information (name, address, license), an Owner-Builder Disclosure (notarized) if the homeowner submits, a recorded Notice of Commencement if the project exceeds $2,500, a survey/site plan showing parcel boundaries, setbacks, easements, flood-zone identification, and trees in the work area, fence affidavits, easement agreement, and construction plans (property lines, height/width/length, elevations, wall cross-section, footer detail). Applicable codes are the 2020 Florida Building Codes (7th Edition). Applications are filed through PascoGateway (Accela); average review time for this work type is about 7.17 days.
