Virtual Inspections for Fence Contractors in Florida
Fence permits should not hold up a job for two weeks. Most Florida fence permits do not require stamped plans — they require a clean, documented final inspection. Freedom Code Compliance (FCC) performs virtual final inspections for wood, vinyl, chain-link, and aluminum fences under Florida Statute 553.791, and verifies FBC Section 4501 pool-barrier compliance where the fence is serving as a barrier for a residential pool or spa.
We Solve Your Biggest Challenges
- Standard fence finals sitting in a building department queue for a week while the homeowner calls every day
- Pool-barrier finals blocked because the jurisdiction wants to see gate hardware, latch height, and gap compliance in person
- Inspectors flagging self-closing / self-latching gate hardware that was never part of the original scope
- Subdivision or HOA walk-throughs getting confused with code inspections and delaying the permit close

Get StartedDo fence permits in Florida need plan review with FCC?
Usually not. Most residential fence permits in Florida are inspection-only — Freedom Code Compliance performs the virtual final fence inspection and verifies code compliance on site through the myFCC app. Plan review is rarely required for typical wood, vinyl, chain-link, or aluminum fence installs. The one scope that tightens things up is a pool-barrier fence: that inspection still does not normally require stamped plans, but FCC specifically verifies FBC 4501 compliance (height, gaps, climbability, and gate hardware) during the final.
What does FCC verify on a pool-barrier fence final in Florida?
Freedom Code Compliance verifies the barrier against FBC Section 4501 and the current Florida Building Code residential pool safety provisions. That typically includes minimum barrier height, maximum ground clearance, maximum vertical-member spacing, no-climb surface conditions, and self-closing / self-latching gate hardware with the latch release at the required height above grade. If any of those fail at inspection, the contractor gets clear, specific correction items back through the myFCC app rather than a vague "did not pass" note from the jurisdiction.
How fast are virtual fence inspection results?
Straight-run fence finals submitted as offline photos through the myFCC app are typically reviewed and returned within 1-2 hours. Live video inspections — useful for pool barriers, complex layouts, or gate-hardware close-ups — return results before the inspection call ends. That turnaround applies to inspections only; fence permits rarely involve plan review with FCC, so there is no separate 24-hour review clock to worry about on a typical residential fence job.
