Fences for Cottondale.
Cottondale is the small Jackson County town where US 90 meets US 231.
Our base on Sapp Road sits just outside town, about five miles and ten minutes from Main Street.
Two railroads still cross at a diamond in town, the Bay Line and the Florida Gulf & Atlantic.
Cottondale High School and Cottondale Elementary both sit on Levy Street.
The Census counts about 425 homes in town, and roughly six in ten are single-family houses.
More than one in five is a manufactured home, and about two thirds are lived in by their owners.
Half the homes in town went up before 1977, and an older lot often needs a fence line rebuilt or repaired.
Jackson County also remembers October 2018, when the eye of Hurricane Michael crossed the county.

Local know-how
Fencing a Cottondale lot.
Manufactured-home lots often get black chain link around the yard, like the job on our chain link page.
Bigger lots and acreage outside town mean longer runs, so a wide drive gate for a truck or a mower matters.
Pine privacy fence is the common backyard pick, and white vinyl suits owners who would rather not stain.
Pool yards need a barrier at least 4 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates under Florida law.
Tell us how the lot lays out and what the fence is for, and we will talk you through the options.
Fence rules in Cottondale.
We could not find a Town of Cottondale fence ordinance online, and the Jackson County code we read has no residential fence-height section.
Before you build, check with Cottondale City Hall or Jackson County Building Services, and with your HOA or deed if you have one.
Florida pool barriers
“The barrier must be at least 4 feet high on the outside. Gates that provide access to swimming pools must open outward away from the pool and be self-closing and equipped with a self-latching locking device.”
Florida Statutes 515.29(1)(a) and (3). Read the source.
Rules change. Check with the building office and your HOA before you build. This is a summary, not legal advice.
“Easy to work with and fair priced. Kadin and his crew did an awesome job on over 500’ of privacy fence for me.”

Questions

Do I need a permit for a fence in Cottondale?
We could not find a written Cottondale fence ordinance online.
Ask Cottondale City Hall, or Jackson County Building Services if the lot sits outside town limits, before you build.
How far is Cottondale from your base?
Close.
Our base on Sapp Road is about ten minutes from Main Street in Cottondale, so a look at the yard is an easy trip.
