Dunedin requires a building permit for most fence installations including chain-link, wood, and masonry. Applications go through the Building Division and must show property lines, height, materials, and required setbacks before construction begins.
Per Dunedin's permit requirements in Chapter 105, fences must be permitted prior to installation. Applications require a site plan showing the proposed fence location, materials, height, gates, and any drainage easements. Fences may not encroach into public rights-of-way, drainage easements, or over utility meter boxes or manholes without written authorization from the city engineer. The finished side (smooth side) of the fence must face adjoining residential properties and the public right-of-way; support posts and stringers must face inward. Inspections may be required before final approval. Replacing a fence in the same footprint may still require permitting if materials or height change.
Unpermitted fence installation can result in stop-work orders, code compliance citations, daily fines, and required removal or after-the-fact permit fees.
