Fencing in Dunedin: local notes
A walkable town with Scottish heritage, a busy Main Street, Blue Jays spring training and Honeymoon and Caladesi islands just offshore. Older cottages and waterfront homes command a premium.

Licensing and permits
Fences typically need a local permit and must follow setback, height and sight-triangle rules. HOAs may add more.
Tips before you hire
- Get a survey so the fence goes on your side of the line.
- Vinyl and aluminum stand up to Florida weather better than untreated wood.
- Pool barriers have specific height and gate requirements.
