River lots and an old boomtown
Dunnellon earned the nickname Boomtown when phosphate was found nearby in 1889, and the old downtown still has homes from that era. Today the draw is the water. Homes along the Rainbow and Withlacoochee rivers usually want privacy from the road but an open view of the river, so a vinyl or wood fence along the sides with aluminum toward the water is a common layout. Riverfront lots can be low and soft after heavy rain, so we set posts deeper and keep fences out of areas that flood. Away from the river, Dunnellon properties run from small in-town lots to acreage, and we build everything from picket fences to no-climb wire.
Who issues fence permits in Dunnellon
Dunnellon is its own city, and it lists fencing among the work that requires a city permit, with a dedicated fence application through its online permit system. We file it for you. Properties outside city limits around Dunnellon fall under Marion County, or Citrus County across the Withlacoochee.
Tips for a smooth fence project in Dunnellon

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a fence in Dunnellon?
Yes, inside city limits. The City of Dunnellon lists fencing as work that requires a permit. We handle the application.
What fence works on a river lot?
Privacy along the sides with see-through aluminum toward the water is the common layout. It keeps pets in and the view open.
Do you build fences outside Dunnellon city limits?
Yes. Many homes with a Dunnellon address, including the area around Rainbow Springs and toward Rainbow Lakes Estates, are outside city limits and fall under Marion County instead of the city. Across the Withlacoochee River, properties are in Citrus County. We look up your parcel first so the right office reviews the fence.
How much does a fence cost in Dunnellon?
River lots often mix two materials, which puts the price between a pure aluminum and a pure vinyl fence. Low or soft ground can add post labor. Your free on-site estimate gives you an exact written price. Typical ranges by material are in our Ocala fence cost guide.
