Broward County requires permits for most fence installations in unincorporated areas. Standard height limits are 6 feet for rear and side yards, 4 feet for front yards. All fences must comply with sight-triangle requirements at corners and driveways. In the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, fences may need to meet wind-load specifications. Swimming pool barrier fences must comply with Florida Building Code Chapter 3 requirements — minimum 48 inches high with self-closing, self-latching gates. Electric fences require specific permits and compliance with UL standards. Permit fees vary by fence length and type, typically $75-$200. Within municipalities, individual city requirements may vary.
Unpermitted fences face fines of $250-$500 per day. Pool fencing violations may result in immediate correction orders and potential pool closure until compliance is achieved.
