LDC §14-6-5(A) requires a building permit to erect any fence or wall within Kissimmee city limits. There is no DIY exemption — permit applies to all heights and materials, including chain link replacements.
Permits are issued through the Building Division (101 N. Church St., 5th Floor). Required submittals: site plan showing fence location relative to property lines and structures, fence material, height, and finished-side orientation. Sec. 9-117 sets miscellaneous permit fees; fence permits typically run $50-$100 depending on linear footage. Building Division processing is generally 1-2 weeks. Failure to obtain a permit is a Sec. 1-22(b)(2) violation at $100 plus the permit fee. Adjacent right-of-way work (planting or fencing within ROW) requires a separate ROW permit under Sec. 38-118.
Sec. 1-22(b)(2) — $100 for construction without permit. Code-board referral can add $250/day for unabated violations. The Building Official can issue a stop-work order (Sec. 9-2) with $200 daily fine under Sec. 1-22(b)(25) for noncompliance.
