About Fruit Cove
Fruit Cove is unincorporated St. Johns County along the east bank of the St. Johns River, north of Julington Creek, so permits go through the county. It has 35,877 residents, a median home value of $484,000, and 87% of homes are owner occupied, one of the highest rates on this site (Census ACS). Big lots and lots of pools make aluminum pool barriers and long back yard privacy runs the common jobs here.

Fences and homes in Fruit Cove
Most homes here were built after 2000 (57%, 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: St. Johns County, since Fruit Cove 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.
