Plant City requires a fence permit for fences over 4 feet in height and for any fence in a front yard setback. Permits ensure compliance with Florida Building Code wind-load standards.
Fences over 4 feet, fences in front yards, and any masonry or block wall fence require a building permit from Plant City Building Services. Permit fees typically run 50 to 150 dollars. Florida Building Code wind-load requirements apply to all fencing because of hurricane exposure. Pool barrier fences have their own permit track under FL Building Code Section 454 and FL 515. Agricultural fencing on bona fide farms may be permit-exempt.
