Professional Fence Installation in Seminole County | The Gifford Standard
Providing a 'Gifford Standard' installation in Unincorporated Seminole County requires more than just high-quality materials; it requires an expert understanding of some of the strictest building codes in Florida. Since 1978, we have been helping homeowners in communities like Heathrow, Sabal Point, and Alaqua Lakes navigate complex county regulations. Whether you are in the heart of Hunt Club or the rural stretches of Chuluota, we ensure your fence is beautiful, legal, and built to last.

Navigating Strict Seminole County Regulations
Seminole County is rigorous regarding property lines and easements. We handle the technical details so you don't face costly code enforcement issues:
- Property Line Encroachment: The county is very strict about property boundaries. If a neighbor’s fence is set back from the line, you are legally prohibited from encroaching on their land. This often requires leaving a small, clean gap between structures to ensure 100% compliance with county law.
- Easements & "No-Build" Zones: Seminole County strictly enforces Conservation, Sidewalk, and Greenway easements. These are designated as "No-Build Zones." We review your property survey to ensure your fence is placed legally, protecting you from future removal orders.
- Height Limitations: Standard residential fences are capped at 6'6" tall. Any fence exceeding this height requires a formal variance from the Seminole County Planning Board—a process we can help you understand.
Permitting & Costs
All permitting is handled through the Seminole County online portal.
- Permit Fees: While basic permits start at $79, they typically range closer to $200 depending on the total valuation of your project. We have found over the years that a lot of fence companies either want the homeowner to pull the permit (always a red flag about the contractors official licensing or insurance) or they charge a much larger fee for permitting (they are most likely outsourcing the permit to another party, again another red flag).
- Paperwork: We manage the submission of everything needed for the permit to ensure a smooth, headache-free approval process.
