Orlando Fence Permit Guide

Orlando publishes residential fence guidance for height, location, historic districts, HOA approval, and sight visibility.

Permit takeaway

Orlando tells homeowners to check whether a permit is needed and says all fences must comply with city code even if no permit is required.

Zoning and placement

Residential fence heights commonly differ by front, side, street-side, and rear yards, and sight visibility triangles matter.

Building and trade review

Historic districts, designated landmarks, HOA rules, and commercial/industrial adjacency can change the fence review path.

Call before applying when

Call before applying if the fence is in a historic district, near a street-side yard, close to a visibility triangle, or controlled by an HOA.
