All fence installation, replacement, or major repair in Hollywood FL requires a permit from the Building Division. Applications require a fence submittal checklist, site plan, and compliance with Section 155.12. Materials, height, and location must be approved before construction begins.
The City of Hollywood Building Division requires permits for all fence installation, replacement, or major repair, whether commercial or residential. The fence submittal checklist (updated August 2024) specifies required documentation. Applicants must identify their zoning district, as material and height restrictions vary. The permit application requires a site plan showing the proposed fence location relative to property lines, structures, and the right-of-way. Heights for fences and walls are regulated by Section 155.12, which establishes maximums by zone and location (front yard, side yard, rear yard). The Building Division reviews applications for compliance with zoning, setback, and material requirements before issuing the permit.
Unpermitted fence construction is a code violation. Fences installed without permits may be required to be removed or modified to comply with code.
