A building permit is required for any new fence in Brandon over 4 feet tall, and for any fence used as a swimming-pool barrier regardless of height, per the Hillsborough County Construction Code.
Permit applications are submitted through HillsGovHub. A site plan showing fence location, materials, height, and property lines is required. Engineered drawings are needed for masonry walls over 4 feet. Fences in easements require a Hold Harmless agreement with the utility.
Unpermitted fence work triggers a stop-work order and double-fee permit penalty; persistent non-compliance leads to Code Enforcement citation.
