About St. Augustine
St. Augustine is the St. Johns County seat, about 40 miles south of downtown Jacksonville, and the city runs its own permits inside its limits. It has the oldest housing mix of any place on this site outside the Beaches: 37% of homes were built before 1970 and the median year built is 1980 (Census ACS). The city also has historic districts with their own design review, so ask whether your street is in one before you pick a style for a fence that faces it.
Numbers: US Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates for St. Augustine city.
Fences and homes in St. Augustine
The housing here is older: the median home was built in 1980 and only 35% of homes went up after 2000 (Census ACS). Older lots can have fences on old lines, shared fences with neighbors and big trees whose roots sit right where a post needs to go.
Permits: the City of St. Augustine inside city limits, St. Johns County outside them. 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.

How it works
