Osceola County's Land Development Code requires fences to comply with siting and material standards, and the property owner must locate all property lines before building. A building permit is typically required through the Osceola County Building Division for residential fences; confirm with the county before you start.
The LDC does not itself grant a permit exemption for fences; section 3.3.1(C)(1) places the burden of correctly locating property lines on the owner before construction. Fence construction in unincorporated Osceola County is administered by the Osceola County Building Division (part of Community Development). Fences must meet the height, material, and maintenance standards of LDC 3.3.1(C) and any applicable zoning-district or subdivision requirements. Inside incorporated cities (Kissimmee, St. Cloud, Celebration is unincorporated), the municipal building department issues fence permits under its own rules.
Building or installing a fence that violates LDC standards can trigger a stop-work order and Code Enforcement action, with daily fines set by the Special Magistrate until corrected.
