Ordinance Changes Reduces Single-Family Fence and Accessory Structure Permitting Requirements in City of Palm Bay

Eligible fences and pre-fabricated accessory structures 120 square feet or less (sheds, gazebos, etc.) will not require a building permit, however a zoning review must be completed by the Land Development Division prior to installation. There will be no inspections upon completion of the installations.

On August 20, 2020, Palm Bay City Council adopted Ordinance 2020-49 (Case T-15-2020), which eliminated the permitting requirements for fences accessory to single-family residential dwellings. Ordinance 2020-49 grants a building permit exception to applicants seeking approval to install a wooden, plastic/vinyl, aluminum, chain link (or otherwise non-masonry) fence, whereby the fence is accessory to a single-family residence. This change is effective September 19, 2020.

On December 17, 2020, Palm Bay City Council adopted Ordinance 2020-58 (Case T-20-2020) to eliminate permitting requirements for accessory structures 120 square feet or less associated with single-family residential dwellings. Ordinance 2020-58 grants a building permit exception to applicants seeking approval to install a pre-manufactured shed, gazebo, or other structures 120 square feet or less, whereby the structure is accessory to a single-family residence. The change is effective January 7, 2021.
