Rural lots near the springs
Outside the state park, the Silver Springs area is a mix of older homes on large lots, small acreage with a horse or two, and wooded parcels heading toward Fort McCoy and the Ocala National Forest. That mix means a single property might need a privacy fence near the road, chain link or no-climb wire around the back, and a wide gate for a truck and trailer. Large oaks and pines are everywhere, so storm limbs are the most common cause of fence damage we fix here. The springs themselves are a reminder of what's underneath: the same limestone that feeds the Silver River sits close to the surface across much of this area, and post holes can hit rock or soft pockets. We probe the line at the estimate so the quote reflects it.
Who issues fence permits in Silver Springs
Silver Springs 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
- Mix privacy near the house with wire or chain link out back
- Expect rock or soft pockets near the springs
- Clear dead limbs over the fence line first
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you fence acreage near Silver Springs?
Yes. We build no-climb wire, board fence and chain link on rural parcels, plus privacy fencing near the house.
Who issues permits near Silver Springs?
Most homes outside Ocala city limits here are in unincorporated Marion County, under Marion County Building Safety. We confirm your parcel.
Can you fence around big oak trees instead of cutting them?
Yes. We shift post locations to miss major roots and, where a fence has to pass under a big limb, leave room so the tree can move in the wind without hitting the fence. If a limb over the line looks dead, we point it out at the estimate so you can have it trimmed first.
How much does a fence cost in Silver Springs?
Rural lots around Silver Springs are priced mostly by total footage. Mixing a privacy section near the house with wire on the far lines keeps it reasonable. Your free on-site estimate gives you an exact written price. Typical ranges by material are in our Ocala fence cost guide.
