Full Breakdown
New Port Richey's Land Development Code makes it unlawful to build, erect, construct, or install any fence or fence wall on any lot, tract, or parcel within city limits without first obtaining a fence permit from the development department. The permit fee is set by City Council resolution rather than fixed in the code text. All permitted fences must also meet the Florida Building Code, use posts resistant to decay, corrosion, and termite damage, face their finished side outward from the property, stay clear of any free vision zone, and avoid the public right-of-way without city approval.
Violations & Fines
Building, erecting, or installing a fence without first obtaining a permit violates LDC § 12.05.00(1); code enforcement can order removal and impose fines up to $500 per day under City Code § 1-14 until corrected.
