Fence permits in and around Okeechobee
Inside city limits, permits go through the City of Okeechobee Building & Permitting Department. The city says online applications aren’t available, so applications are filed in person, by fax or by mail, and residential permits need two sets of plans. Owners who live in the home can act as owner-builder with an affidavit.
Outside city limits, permits go through Okeechobee County’s Building Department, which the county operates through a contractor and which keeps permit records on eTRAKiT. We tell you which office covers your address and prepare the paperwork.
