Acreage at the edge of the forest
Originally named Fort Mackay in 1839, Fort McCoy is still mostly country: homes on acreage, small farms, hunting land and pine woods running toward the Ocala National Forest. Fences here have practical jobs. No-climb wire and field fence hold horses, goats and cattle, chain link keeps dogs home, and tall gates on sandy roads let trucks and trailers in. Deep sand is common on this side of the county, which makes well-built corner braces and concrete at gate posts essential, or wire fences go slack within a season. Pines and oaks drop limbs in storms, so we plan lines with room to clear and recommend a quick fence walk after any big blow.
Who issues fence permits in Fort McCoy
Fort McCoy is in unincorporated Marion County, so Marion County Building Safety at 2710 E. Silver Springs Blvd. (352-438-2400) has jurisdiction, not the City of Ocala. The county's land code exempts fences from building setbacks. We confirm with the county whether your project needs a permit, and pool barriers always go through permitting. See the permit guide.
Tips for a smooth fence project in Fort McCoy
- Deep sand needs strong braces at every corner and gate
- Wire fences hold horses, goats and cattle
- Walk the fence line after big storms
Frequently Asked Questions
Who issues fence permits in Fort McCoy?
Marion County Building Safety, since Fort McCoy is unincorporated. We confirm whether your fence needs a permit.
What fence holds goats and horses together?
No-climb wire with a top board works for both and keeps dogs out. Goats test gaps, so tight bottom clearance matters.
Will a wire fence hold up in Fort McCoy's sandy soil?
It will if the corners are built right. Wire fences pull hard on their ends, and in deep sand a corner post without a proper brace or concrete leans and lets the whole line go slack. We build H-braces at corners and gates, set those posts deeper, and retension the wire after the fence settles.
How much does a fence cost in Fort McCoy?
Fort McCoy acreage is priced by footage, corner braces and gates. Wire fencing keeps long runs affordable compared with board or vinyl rail. Your free on-site estimate gives you an exact written price. Typical ranges by material are in our Ocala fence cost guide.
