Some Requirements for Residential Fences (Page 5 of 6)
Chain Link and Wood Fences must be six feet (6’), or less, in height.
Height is measured from natural grade (Masonry fences are considered Walls and require a Building Permit).
All fences and walls shall be installed with the finished side facing the adjacent property or the public right-of-way. All fence
posts must be located on the inside of the fence facing the property on which the fence is located unless the fence is
designed and constructed to look the same on both sides. No element of fences and walls shall encroach on an adjacent lot
or right-of-way.
Gates, columns, posts, and finials may exceed the maximum height of the fence by no more than one foot. Pergolas or
arches associated with a gate or entrance may be permitted up to ten feet in height.
If the property abuts a waterbody, no fence or wall greater than four feet in height shall be permitted closer than 10 feet to
the Mean High Water line, seawall, or the property line, whichever is more restrictive.
In all residential districts except Residential Estate (RE), side and rear setback requirements shall not apply to fences and
walls six feet high or less behind the minimum front setback line, except for a corner lot where a side property line abuts a
road, the setback shall be a minimum of 7.5 feet of the property line.
Front setback requirements shall not apply to opaque fences or walls three (3) feet high or less or non-opaque fences or
walls four (4) feet high or less.
Properties located within the Charlotte Harbor CRA and Manasota Key Overlay will need additional review for compliance.
