First fences in a fast-growing community
The Shores grew from about 6,500 residents in 2010 to nearly 25,000 in 2020, and much of that growth was new single-family homes. That means a lot of owners who have never had a fence and want a backyard for kids or a dog, plus older homes from the community's earlier decades with chain link or wood that's worn out. Six-foot vinyl privacy fences are the most common request on newer lots, with black chain link as the budget option on larger or wooded lots. New homes often sit on fill sand that hasn't fully settled, so we size concrete footings for loose soil. Scattered sinkholes are part of life in Marion County's karst; if we find a soft depression on the line, we route around it and point it out.
Who issues fence permits in Silver Springs Shores
Silver Springs Shores 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 Silver Springs Shores
- Six-foot vinyl privacy is the top request on newer lots
- Loose fill sand gets wider concrete footings
- We note any soft spots or depressions on the line
Frequently Asked Questions
Who handles fence permits in Silver Springs Shores?
Marion County Building Safety, because The Shores is unincorporated. We confirm whether your fence needs a permit and handle it if so.
What's the most popular fence in The Shores?
A 6 ft vinyl privacy fence around the backyard, with chain link as the lower-cost choice on bigger lots.
What if my lot backs onto woods or an empty lot?
That's common in The Shores. A solid vinyl or wood fence on that side gives privacy now and a screen if a house goes up later. We check the survey for the true corners, clear brush along the line, and keep the fence on your side so a future neighbor's survey won't put it in question.
How much does a fence cost in Silver Springs Shores?
A typical Shores backyard runs about 150 to 200 feet. Vinyl privacy costs more per foot than chain link, and gates add to either. Your free on-site estimate gives you an exact written price. Typical ranges by material are in our Ocala fence cost guide.
