What wood fences in Watergate actually involves

Permits and inspections
Watergate is unincorporated, so fence permits and the height and setback rules that come with them are handled by Palm Beach County.
Where Watergate sits

Because it has no city hall of its own, wood fences here is permitted and inspected by the county — and we already run the same crews through the surrounding municipalities, so scheduling doesn't change.
HOA and community rules
Some Watergate communities restrict fence style, height, or which side the finished face has to point. Worth confirming before the posts go in.
