Boca Raton - Palm Beach County
From waterfront properties and HOA communities to pool enclosures, fence replacements and custom gates — Power Fence helps Boca Raton homeowners navigate the process from estimate to final inspection.
Before you install
Boca Raton has its own way of doing things — and most fence questions don't get answered by a generic checklist. Here's how the rules actually work, in plain English, with the dimensions that matter when we're planning your project.
How tall a fence can be depends on where it sits on your lot — and what's next door.
Fence height often depends on where the fence is located and what neighboring property it borders.Corner properties play by a different set of rules — and the right plan can recover usable yard.
Corner properties often require additional planning before installation.Some Boca Raton properties front two streets — and effectively have two front yards to plan around.
Properties with streets on both sides often require additional review during planning.A small detail with big curb-appeal implications — and it's required by code.
Fence orientation matters during design and installation.A current survey isn't a formality — it's what the city, your HOA, and your fence plan all start from.
A survey helps avoid delays and property-line disputes.Easements look like part of your yard — they aren't. Fences in them are limited, and approval isn't automatic.
Utility easements can affect fence placement.The short version
The numbers we plan around on every Boca Raton project. Every site is different — these are the typical starting points.
Rules can vary based on zoning, site conditions, easements, HOA requirements, and property-specific circumstances. Power Fence verifies requirements during the estimate and permit process.
After you sign
From your first estimate to final inspection, every step has a real person attached to it — and we tell you exactly where your project is.
We come out, measure, and walk the property — including waterfront and HOA-restricted conditions.
We assemble what the city & HOA need: survey, site plan, materials, elevations.
Nikki runs your application through Boca Raton and your HOA so you never deal with the building department directly.
Permits in hand, HOA letter on file, install date scheduled.
Our own crews install — never unlicensed subs. Site is cleaned daily.
We meet the city inspector on-site and close the permit. You get the final paperwork.
Manufacturer warranties on materials, our own workmanship guarantee, and a real number to call.

HOA & Permit Coordinator
Nikki runs the back-of-house side of every Boca Raton project — submitting plans to the city, working with HOAs on color and material approvals, coordinating surveys, and scheduling inspections. She's the one keeping your project moving while our crews and you focus on the install itself. If you ever wonder where things stand, she's the person to call.
More than a perimeter
In Boca, your fence sits next to your outdoor living, your pool, your landscaping, and your front-yard presentation — and it shows up in HOA renderings and resale photos for years to come. The job isn't just to enclose the yard. It's to fit the place.
Different parts of town, different plans
East, Central and West Boca each ask different questions of a fence project. Where your property sits shapes the plan long before we talk about materials.
Boca Raton project spotlights
A representative cross-section of the work we do in Boca — each one with its own constraints, its own approvals, its own outcome.
HOA required matching color, picket spacing and post caps across 14 adjoining lots — with no on-site samples and a tight architectural review window.
Submitted a full review package with shop drawings, color chips and a mocked-up post cap. Approved in one pass.
All 14 properties installed in a single coordinated sequence. Zero ARC kickbacks.
Existing fence didn't meet current Florida pool barrier requirements; gates opened the wrong direction.
New 4′ aluminum enclosure with self-closing, self-latching gates positioned for supervision sightlines from the kitchen.
Passed pool-barrier inspection on first visit. Insurance compliance handled.
A previous powder-coated steel fence had failed after seven years of salt air. Homeowner wanted something that would actually last on the water.
Marine-grade aluminum with stainless hardware throughout, anchored to a clean-laid footing along the seawall.
Five years in and the finish still looks new. Backed by a manufacturer salt-air warranty.
A 30-year-old wood fence had failed, but the homeowner had mature hedges and a citrus tree planted right against the line.
Tear-out done by hand around root zones, new posts set with adjusted spacing, and panels staged to keep the hedge in place.
Two-day install. Not a single hedge replaced.
Homeowner wanted a custom design to match the home's contemporary lines — nothing off-the-shelf would do.
Fabricated in our own shop, powder-coated, automated with safe-stop sensors and a keypad entry.
One-of-one gate, salt-air-rated finish, in service for three years and counting.

Good to know
Straight answers to what Boca Raton homeowners ask us before every project. Still wondering something? Just call — we're happy to talk it through.
In nearly every case, yes. Boca Raton requires a permit and supporting documentation — typically a recent survey and a site plan — before a fence can be installed. We handle the submission for you.
Front yards top out at 4′. Side and rear yards top out at 6′. Taller fences along corner-lot side streets and double-frontage rear yards may be allowed with the right setback and landscape buffer. The exact answer depends on your lot.
A 6′ fence may be permitted along your side-street frontage if it sits at least 5′ from the property line and the area between fence and property line is landscaped. Visibility at the corner itself still has to be preserved.
If you're in an HOA, almost always — and the package the HOA wants (color samples, post caps, picket spacing, elevations) is more involved than the city's. Nikki builds an architectural-review package your board can actually sign off on.
A recent survey establishes your property lines, easements, setbacks and existing improvements. The city requires it for permit submission, and we use it to draw an accurate site plan and avoid line disputes with neighbors.
Pool enclosures have to meet Florida pool barrier requirements: minimum height, gate self-closing and self-latching hardware, and openings sized to keep small children out. We design pool fences to that standard from day one.
Sometimes — with city approval. Easement fencing is generally limited to 50% encroachment into the easement, and utility crews keep the right to remove the fence to access their lines. We flag easements on the survey before we plan placement.
It varies with the city's queue, your HOA's review window, and whether your project needs revisions. Nikki gives you a realistic window up front and keeps you posted at each step rather than promising a date we can't hit.
