Fence Installation Permits in Deltona

Local Rule

City of Deltona Building and Enforcement Services,

Deltona requires a Building and Enforcement Services permit before building or installing any fence or wall in the city, with a survey certified by the surveyor required and the permit running with the land. The main exception is replacing an existing fence with the same material at the same location and height, which does not need a new permit. Fences taller than 6 feet require structurally engineered drawings under the Florida Building Code. Permit fees for a typical residential fence generally run about $150 to $400. Contact the Deltona Building Department at (386) 878-8700 with questions.
