Fences for Chipley.

Chipley is the Washington County seat, reached by US 90, SR 77 and I-10 exit 120.

Our base on Sapp Road is about 16 minutes and ten miles away, by Sapp Road and US 90.

The Dunn Building, a brick commercial block dated 1916, stands downtown beside the railroad line.

Falling Waters State Park, south of Chipley, has a sinkhole waterfall with a stairway to it.

Shivers Park is a city park, and Northwest Florida Community Hospital sits on the south side of town.

The Census counts about 1,800 homes in the city, and about two thirds are single-family houses.

About one in eight is a manufactured home, and owners live in roughly 66 percent of the occupied homes.

The median home dates to 1972, so an older fence line is often due for repair or replacement.

Local know-how

Fencing a Chipley lot.

Chipley sets fence height from the front face of the house: 4 feet there, and 6 feet from there back.

That makes 6-foot pine or vinyl privacy a job for the sides and back, with a lower 4-foot fence out front.

Manufactured-home lots, about one in eight homes in town, often want black chain link around the yard.

Pool yards need a barrier at least 4 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates under Florida law.

Tell us where the lot sits and what the fence is for, and we will talk you through the options.

Fence rules in Chipley.

Chipley’s code, Sec. 44-116(e)(1), sets 4 feet from the front face of the house and 6 feet from there back to the rear property line.

Sec. 44-116(f) adopts F.S. ch. 515 for pools. That section has no permit clause, so ask the City of Chipley before you build.
