Fencing That Fits Nassau County Properties
Nassau County covers a lot of different kinds of property. There are established residential neighborhoods, newer developments going up around Yulee, larger rural and agricultural lots further inland, and coastal properties around Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island. Add in commercial properties and communities with their own HOA rules, and it becomes clear pretty quickly that a fence that works well on one property may not be the right fit for the one next door.
As a fence company serving all of Nassau County, Farence Fencing approaches every project by looking at the actual property first. That means considering how much privacy the homeowner wants, how the property is laid out, where the fence needs to go, what material makes sense, how tall it needs to be, whether an HOA or community association has its own requirements, which local jurisdiction the property falls under, and what the fence is actually meant to do, whether that is containing a dog, defining a boundary line, or keeping kids safely in the yard.
Farence Fencing is a family operation: Matt runs the install crew, and his mom handles office and scheduling. Existing customers also get priority scheduling if a storm comes through.
Fence Options for Nassau County Homes and Properties
Wood Privacy Fencing
Wood is what we are best known for, especially horizontal-style wood fencing. It is a solid choice for homeowners who want privacy along with a more traditional or custom look, and it can be built to match the character of an older neighborhood or a newer build.
Vinyl Fencing
Aluminum Fencing
DuraFence and Modern Fencing Systems
DuraFence is a modern fencing system built for durability, and it is a good fit for homeowners who want a contemporary look that holds up over time.
Commercial and Specialty Fencing
Larger commercial projects and agricultural or farm properties need a different planning process than a typical residential fence, from site logistics to material selection.
Nassau County Fence Rules: What Homeowners Need to Know
- Unincorporated Nassau County: Florida's statewide baseline exempts residential fences up to 7 ft from needing a building permit. Nassau County adopted a stricter local rule under County Commission Resolution 2015-85, passed June 22, 2015: fences 6 ft or under are exempt from a permit, but anything taller requires a permit and has to meet Florida Building Code wind-design standards. Nassau County's local rule is more restrictive than the state minimum and applies to most unincorporated properties in the county.
- Fernandina Beach: The City of Fernandina Beach handles fencing differently than the unincorporated county. Any new fence installation or replacement inside city limits requires a permit, regardless of height. There is no blanket exemption like there is in unincorporated Nassau County.
- HOA and Community Rules: Government permit rules are only part of the picture. Many Nassau County neighborhoods, particularly newer platted communities, have their own HOAs or architectural review requirements that stack on top of whatever the county or city requires.
- Your fence's exact location determines which rules apply. Before installation, Farence confirms the applicable jurisdiction and reviews the requirements for your property. For unincorporated county jobs, Farence pulls the permit directly with the county on the homeowner's behalf, so the homeowner just signs the application. Fernandina Beach and coastal jobs route through city hall instead, a separate permitting process from the county.

- When an HOA is involved, the homeowner requests the fence application from the HOA, fills it out, and sends it in with Farence copied. Farence provides the survey, insurance certificate, and other documents the HOA needs. Once a job is approved, it typically calendars out about 30 days.
Before We Install Your Fence, We Look at the Property
Every Nassau County property is different, so Farence walks each one before finalizing a plan. That includes property layout, where the fence line will actually run, existing structures on the lot, access points, gate locations, easements or right-of-way, applicable zoning, any HOA requirements, and the height and material that make sense for the property.
Nassau County directs property owners to its own GIS and zoning lookup tool to check land-use rules for a specific parcel, available at nassauflpa.com/gis. It is a useful starting point for understanding what applies to your property before a fence project gets underway.

Installation
How Long Does Fence Installation Take in Nassau County?
There is no single answer that applies to every property. Installation time depends on factors such as the length of the fence, the number of gates, and overall project complexity.
What Farence can promise is a same-day response when you reach out, with someone on-site within three days to look at the property in person. That initial timeline is separate from the total project timeline, which can extend further if the property requires a county or city permit, or if an HOA approval needs to be completed first.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fencing in Nassau County
Do you install fences in Yulee, FL?
Yes. Farence Fencing installs residential and commercial fencing throughout Yulee, including newer developments and established neighborhoods.
Do you install fences in Fernandina Beach?
Yes. Fernandina Beach falls under city permitting rules rather than the unincorporated county’s rules, which means a permit is required for any new fence or replacement regardless of height. Farence handles that process through city hall.
Do you serve Amelia Island?
Yes. Farence Fencing works with coastal Nassau County properties, including those on Amelia Island, and understands that beach-area homeowners often want a clear, defined boundary line between their property and neighboring lots or public areas.
How quickly can Farence install a fence in Nassau County?
It depends on the project. Material, property conditions, whether a permit or HOA approval is required, and current workload all factor into the timeline. Farence responds the same day and can typically be on-site within three days to assess the property and give you a clearer estimate of timing.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Nassau County?
It depends on where the property is located and how tall the fence will be. In unincorporated Nassau County, fences 6 ft or under generally do not require a permit, while taller fences do and must meet Florida Building Code wind-design standards. In Fernandina Beach, a permit is required for any new fence or replacement, regardless of height. Farence confirms which rule applies before starting a project.
Does my HOA need to approve my fence?
It can, and that requirement exists independently of any county or city permit rules. If your community has an HOA or architectural review board, Farence works alongside that process: you submit the fence application to your HOA and copy Farence, and Farence supplies the survey, insurance certificate, and any other documentation the HOA requests.
Can you help me choose the right fence for my Nassau County property?
Yes. Farence considers privacy needs, property layout, material, height, HOA or community requirements, and the applicable local jurisdiction before recommending a fence system.
How much does a fence cost in Nassau County?
Cost depends on the specifics of your property, so Farence does not quote a flat local price. The most accurate way to get a number is a free estimate.
