Privacy fences in Broward County are generally allowed up to 6 feet in rear and side yards and 4 feet in front yards. Permits are required for fences in most unincorporated areas. Chain link fences must meet height restrictions.
Broward County requires permits for most fence installations in unincorporated areas. Standard privacy fences are allowed up to 6 feet in rear and side yards and 4 feet in front yards. Corner lots have additional restrictions for sight-triangle visibility. Fencing materials must be approved — wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link are standard. Barbed wire is prohibited in residential zones. The finished side must face outward. Swimming pool barriers must comply with Florida Building Code requirements (minimum 48 inches, self-closing gates). Hurricane-rated fencing may be required in certain zones given Broward County's exposure to tropical storms. Some municipalities within Broward have stricter fence requirements.
Unpermitted fences may result in code enforcement action with fines of $250-$500 per day. Non-compliant pool fencing can result in immediate citations and required corrections.
