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.
