Coral Springs requires a building permit for fence installation. Applications must include two copies of a property survey with the fence line marked and two copies of signed and sealed engineering drawings. The Building Department reviews both building code and zoning compliance before issuing a permit.
A fence installation permit is required from the Coral Springs Building Department before any fence construction. Applicants must submit two copies of a property survey clearly showing the proposed fence line, style, and fencing type. One copy goes to the Building Department, the other to the Zoning Department. Additionally, two copies of signed and sealed engineering drawings with manufacturer fabrication specifications are required to ensure compliance with the Florida Building Code. If the total fence installation value exceeds $2,500, a Notice of Commencement form is also required. The Building Department is located at 9500 West Sample Road. A final inspection is required after installation is complete. Permits may be applied for online through the city's eTrakit permitting system.
Installing a fence without a permit is a code violation subject to stop-work orders and civil penalties up to $500. Unpermitted fences may be required to be removed or brought into compliance at the owner's expense.
