Q: Can I place a fence or plantings within easements?
A: Yes. The construction of a fence will require a City Building Permit.
Contact Planning & Development Services at (727) 562-4567, for more
information. Plantings can be placed within the easement. The City should
be consulted prior to the planting of trees in easements to prevent tree
roots from damaging existing utilities. For information on what City utility
(sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water, reuse or gas) may be in an easement
contact the Engineering Department at (727) 562-4750.
Note: Anything placed in the easement may need to be removed to maintain
or install utilities.

Q: Where is my property line in relationship to the
street?
A: The location of property lines varies depending on what subdivision
you are in. For an exact determination, you will have to obtain the services
of a local Land Surveyor. In a neighborhood with sidewalks, a rough location
of your property line is 1 ft. behind the sidewalk away from the street.
