What Margate asks for with a fence permit
- A notarized Broward Uniform Permit Application and the signed contract (or Cost Verification Form)
- A survey showing the fence location and height and the gate locations
- A notarized Easement Affidavit, and the easement holder’s permission for canal, drainage or lake easements
- PVC and aluminum: a Notice of Acceptance or sealed engineering; wood and chain link built to the code’s fence sections
- A Notice of Commencement above the city’s threshold
The city notes its permit doesn’t guarantee your HOA allows the fence — HOA approval is separate, and we supply the specs your association needs.
