A Note From Our Team

"When we sit down with a Margate homeowner, the conversation usually starts the same way — with the HOA or the permit, not the fence style. Margate has some of the most active HOA communities in Broward — Colony West, Oriole Gardens, Oriole Lakes all have architectural guidelines that go beyond what the county requires. I've worked in SW 1st Court, NW 77th Ave, NW 69th Terrace enough to know where the complications come from before we ever walk the property. That experience — knowing the local code, knowing the inspectors, knowing the HOA patterns — is what separates a smooth installation from a frustrating one."

We Know Margate

We've Worked in Your Neighborhood

Margate is a straightforward market — established neighborhoods, consistent demand, and homeowners who appreciate a fence contractor that shows up on time and does the job right. SW 1st Court appears multiple times in our Margate job history. We've built our reputation here job by job.

"When we estimate in Margate, we always ask about the seawall. Not because Margate is on the ocean — it isn't — but because the canal system throughout this city means a significant number of properties have water-adjacent rear yards with setback requirements that aren't always obvious from the address. Getting that question right at the estimate saves everyone time."

— XL Fencing Team · Margate, FL

🏘️ SW 1st Court & Southwest Margate

SW 1st Court shows up twice in our Margate records — multiple clients in the same corridor. Southwest Margate's established residential streets are steady demand for PVC privacy fencing and aluminum pool fences. We know this part of the city well.

🌿 NW Margate & Atlantic Boulevard Corridor

NW 77th Avenue, NW 69th Terrace, W Atlantic Boulevard — Margate's northwest and commercial corridors are active markets for us. Mix of residential and commercial fence needs, and we handle both with the same standard of work.

🏗️ Island Way & Waterfront-Adjacent Properties

Island Way and similar Margate streets near water require attention to easement rules. Margate requires written consent from any easement holders before installation. We identify and resolve easement questions before pulling a single permit.

Why It Matters

Why Margate Fencing Is Different

Every city in South Florida has its own rules, its own HOA landscape, and its own climate realities. Here's what matters most in Margate.

  • 💧

    Canal Properties Have Setback Requirements

    Margate's canal system creates water-adjacent rear yards on many properties. Canal setbacks add requirements beyond standard Broward County fence code. We identify and document these during the estimate.

  • 📐

    6-Foot Maximum Is Standard, HOAs May Differ

    Broward County allows 6 feet in side and rear yards. HOA communities in Margate may impose lower maximums. We verify both before designing.

  • 📋

    Complete Permit Package Required

    PVC and aluminum installations require Florida Product Approval documentation. We include this in every Margate permit submission as part of our standard package.

Common Questions

Margate Fence FAQs

Do I need a permit for a fence in Margate?
All fences in Margate require a permit — no exceptions, no exemptions for small fences or property boundary fences. Pool barrier fences are additionally mandated by Florida law and must comply with FL Statute 515 before the pool can legally be used. We pull every permit under our Broward or Palm Beach County contractor license. You never visit the permit office, you never track down an inspector — we handle the complete permit process from application to final inspection. Having a permitted fence is also important for home resale: unpermitted fences are flagged by buyer's inspectors and can complicate or kill a sale.
How much does a fence cost in Margate, FL?
Installed fence pricing in Margate typically ranges from $25 to $45 per linear foot for chain link, $33 to $55 for pressure-treated wood, $35 to $105 for PVC/vinyl, and $39 to $60 for aluminum. Actual cost depends on total linear footage, number of gates and their width, permit fees, site conditions like rocky soil or drainage requirements, and any HOA-specific requirements. We provide free, written, itemized estimates with no pressure to sign. The estimate includes every cost — permit fees, post-hole inspections if required in your city, dirt removal if applicable — so there are no surprises after you've agreed to move forward.
Can you help with HOA approval in Margate?
Yes — and we make it easy. We provide you with a complete HOA documentation package including our contractor license, certificate of insurance, material specifications, and a scaled site plan showing your proposed fence placement — everything your HOA needs to approve the project. You submit it to your association; we prepare everything so it's ready to go. The most important advice: never pull the county permit before your HOA approves the design. Get HOA sign-off first, or run both in parallel.
How long does fence installation take?
The variable in every Margate project is the permit — Broward or Palm Beach County typically processes fence permits in 2 to 8 weeks from a complete submission. We prepare complete packages on the first attempt, which eliminates the revision cycle that doubles timelines for incomplete submissions. Once the permit is issued and materials are delivered, most residential installs complete in one business day. We provide a clear written timeline estimate before you sign anything, including realistic permit expectations for your specific project type.
What are Margate's specific fence rules?
Margate does not permit fences in front yards or on corner-facing yards. The finished decorative side must always face outward toward neighbors and the street. Properties with easements require written authorization from the easement holder before installation — we identify and handle this as part of our permit process.
Do you offer financing?
Yes — we offer financing through Enhancify with a soft credit pull only, meaning checking your rate won't affect your credit score. Options include 0% APR promotional financing, loan amounts up to $200,000, and terms from 1 to 12 years depending on your qualification. Financing makes it possible to install the fence you actually want — not a compromise based on what's available in cash right now. Ask about your financing options when you schedule your free Margate estimate and we'll walk you through what you qualify for before you commit to anything.
What are the setback requirements for canal properties in Margate?
Canal-adjacent properties in Margate have specific setback requirements from the water's edge that go beyond standard Broward County residential fence code. The specific required distance depends on the canal classification and the property's relationship to it. In some cases, South Florida Water Management District approval may also be required for properties adjacent to SFWMD-managed canals. We identify all applicable setback requirements during our estimate, before designing — incorrect canal setbacks are a common cause of permit rejection in Margate.
How long does a fence permit take in Margate?
Broward County processes fence permits typically within 2 to 8 weeks from a complete submission. The revision cycle from incomplete submissions is what creates the 12-to-16-week timelines homeowners sometimes experience. We prepare complete packages — current survey, Florida Product Approval documentation for applicable materials, correct setback documentation — which eliminates the revision cycle. Canal-adjacent properties may require SFWMD sign-off which adds time, but we identify this requirement upfront so it doesn't surprise you.
What warranty comes with a fence from XL Fencing?
Every XL Fencing installation includes a 1-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality and craftsmanship on all materials. Aluminum and powder-coated aluminum fencing additionally carry a lifetime manufacturer's warranty on the material itself — not just the installation. If something isn't right after we leave, we make it right. No runaround, no waiting — this is how we've built a company that runs almost entirely on referrals and repeat business from the same neighborhoods we've served for over a decade.
Do you offer discounts for military, seniors, or first responders?
Yes. We offer a 5% discount for active military, veterans, senior citizens 65 and older, and first responders including law enforcement, fire, and EMS. South Florida's military and first responder community has been part of our customer base since we opened, and this is a small way of recognizing that. Mention your status when you request your estimate and we apply the discount to your quote. No documentation required — we take your word for it.
What should I look for when hiring a fence contractor in South Florida?
Three things. First, are they licensed in the county where your property is located — not just somewhere in Florida, but specifically Broward or Palm Beach County? Second, do they pull their own permits and can they show you the permit before any work begins? Third, are their reviews actually from your area? XL Fencing holds active licenses in Broward County (U-22428) and Palm Beach County (20-F-22100-R). We pull every permit under our license. Our 260 Google reviews are from homeowners across our actual service area — not other states, not other markets.
