St. Augustine Pool Fence Laws & Requirements

In St. Augustine, pool fences are regulated under Article VII of the zoning code, specifically to enhance safety, prevent hazards, and preserve neighborhood aesthetics. Pool Guard installs fencing systems that align with all local regulations for residential and commercial properties across St. Augustine and surrounding areas.

• Location Restrictions: Pool fences are allowed in side and rear setbacks but must not encroach into required landscape buffers, drainage areas, or obstruct visibility triangles—especially on corner lots or properties facing multiple roadways.
• Fence Height: Standard fences may be up to 8 feet tall in side and rear yards. However, front yard fences are limited to 42 inches and must be picket-style. Chain link fences are not permitted in front yards.
• Pool Enclosures: All swimming pools must be located in the side or rear yard and not within required building setbacks. Screened pool enclosures are allowed but must maintain a minimum 5-foot setback from property lines.
• Visibility & Safety: Fences must not block essential sightlines and should not interfere with onsite drainage. Pool Guard ensures all installations follow these drainage and vision triangle rules for code compliance and public safety.
• Special Restrictions Near A1A Beach Blvd: If your property borders A1A Beach Boulevard, your fence must be at least 5 feet from the right-of-way and may require additional approval from the Comprehensive Planning and Zoning Board.
• Material Standards: Posts must be resistant to corrosion, termite damage, and decay—standards our mesh fence systems exceed using rust-proof aluminum poles and UV-stabilized components.
