Florida case law also makes it illegal to build a "spite fence" – a fence built for no other purpose than to interfere with a neighbor's property rights.
“As of July 1, HOAs will be prohibited from banning common-sense parking, fining residents for leaving garbage cans out on trash day, creating rules for the inside of structures or backyards (like prohibitions against gardens or clotheslines) that can't be seen from the street, neighboring property or common area, and ...

Fence Height Florida building code generally requires that fences should be built no taller than six feet. Lower levels of government may have their own rules though. For example, Miami-Dade County regulations say that height for fences cannot exceed six feet in most cases.
The maximum height of a fence is 4-feet within the front yard setback. Beyond that point, towards the rear of your property, the height of the fence can be up to 8-feet. A visibility triangle for traffic safety purposes must be maintained at road intersections.

A common practice is to build the fence 2-8 inches away from the property line, depending on local regulations and personal preferences.
