Ormond Beach requires permits for fence installation per LDC Section 2-50(n). Fences may be located within certain easements at the property owner's risk (owner is responsible for replacement if removal is required). Permits are processed through the Building Division at (386) 676-3233.
Ormond Beach's permit requirements for fences are straightforward: standard wood, vinyl, or chain-link fences within height limits (4 feet front yard, 6 feet side/rear) are exempt from building permits in most city limits. Permits are required for fences exceeding 6 feet, masonry or stone walls, electric fences, fences with concrete foundations deeper than 18 inches, and fences within easements or floodplains. Fence installation must not obstruct drainage or utility access. Property owners should verify the property line through a survey before installing boundary fences to avoid encroachment disputes.
Building a fence requiring a permit without one results in a stop-work order and a double permit fee plus a $100 administrative penalty. Non-conforming fences must be brought into compliance or removed.
