Lynn Haven requires a Building Department permit for new fences. Submit a fence application with sub-contractor information to 817 Ohio Ave (850-265-2121 ext. 2135). Pool barrier fences fall under the Pool Permit.
While the Lynn Haven permit page does not list a standalone 'fence' line item, the Residential Permit Application covers fence construction as an accessory structure. ULDC Sec. 5.01.02 applies (side/rear yard for residential fences in setback areas; conformance with Sec. 4.02.02 setback rules; anchoring per the 2025 amendment). Front-yard fences are typically capped at 4 ft and rear/side-yard at 6 ft in Lynn Haven's residential FLU categories. All work must be inspected. Fence contractors must be properly licensed and bonded under Florida Sec. 489 F.S.
Unpermitted fence installation is a Sec. 1-7 violation up to $500/day plus possible removal or relocation order.
