Fence Installation Across Dunedin, FL
What Makes Fencing in Dunedin Different
Dunedin mixes waterfront homes, older downtown lots and a city that publishes its own fence design standards. Here's what shapes a Dunedin fence.
Salt Air Along St. Joseph Sound
Homes near the water and the causeway get steady salt spray. Powder-coated aluminum and vinyl stand up to it well. If you choose wood, we use galvanized or stainless fasteners and recommend more frequent sealing.
Older Lots Near Downtown
The streets around Main Street and the Pinellas Trail have older homes on narrower lots. Fence style matters as much as function here: picket and wood fences often suit the architecture better than tall privacy panels in front yards.
The City Publishes Fence Design Standards
Dunedin's zoning division posts sample site plans showing where fences can go and how tall they can be on residential lots. We lay out your fence against those standards before we quote.
Dunedin Fence Permits & Code
- Permits: the City of Dunedin requires a permit to erect, install, alter or relocate a fence. The application includes a survey or site plan showing the fence location, gates and columns, plus the fence type, height and length. Where a permit's required, we pull it for you, and the permit fee is included in your written estimate.
- Repairs: no permit is needed to repair or replace up to 50 linear feet of a fence that was previously permitted.
- Pools: fences used as pool barriers must be built to the current Florida Building Code.
- Utilities: we call Sunshine 811 for locates before any post hole goes in.
