Are there restrictions on adding fences, pools, or sheds in 30A communities?

Yes, many communities along 30A have restrictions on adding fences, pools, sheds, and other exterior improvements. Requirements vary based on the neighborhood, homeowners association, zoning, and property location.

Many planned communities require approval from an Architectural Review Board or homeowners association before construction begins. Guidelines may regulate the size, location, materials, design, and appearance of exterior additions. Walton County requirements may also include permits, setbacks, easements, lot coverage limits, and applicable building codes.

Before purchasing a property or planning an improvement, homeowners should review the community’s governing documents, architectural guidelines, property survey, and county requirements. A property may appear to have enough space for a pool, fence, or shed but may still be limited by setbacks, easements, or neighborhood restrictions.
