The Development Management Group has no objections to the placement of fencing in City of Jacksonville easements with the understanding that, if the city ever needs to perform work within the easement, the fence will need to be removed. You will need a right of way permit and a Revocable Permit and Indemnification Agreement. There are easements that the City of Jacksonville does not have jurisdiction over. Utility easements are typically under the jurisdiction of JEA.

To accurately determine where your property line is, the land needs to be surveyed. The maximum height of a fence is 3-feet within the front yard setback. Beyond that point, towards the rear of your property, the height of the fence can be up to 6-feet in height. See similar questions...
