About Fleming Island
Fleming Island sits on a peninsula between the St. Johns River and Doctors Lake in Clay County, and as an unincorporated area it gets its permits from the county. It is a suburb of the 1990s and 2000s: the median home was built in 2001, 78% of homes are single-family detached, and 85% are owner occupied (Census ACS). A lot of the original subdivision fences are now past 20 years old, and replacing one usually means checking it against the neighborhood's architectural rules first.
Numbers: US Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates for Fleming Island CDP.
Fences and homes in Fleming Island
Most homes here were built after 2000 (54%, Census ACS), so a lot of the original fences are now 15 to 25 years old. Pine posts that have spent that long in wet Florida soil are often the first thing to go, even when the boards still look fine.
Permits: Clay County, since Fleming Island is unincorporated. Height limits and permit rules differ between Jacksonville, the Beaches cities and the counties, so check with the office that covers your address. How the rules compare.
