Estimate Your Fence Cost
This is a rough estimate only, built from typical southern Hillsborough County pricing. It does not include permit fees, HOA review, old-fence removal, or site-specific factors like drainage, tree roots, or corrosion-resistant hardware for waterfront lots. A real quote requires a free on-site visit — the number we write down after that visit is the number you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions
This tool gives you a rough, ballpark range based on typical per-linear-foot pricing we see across southern Hillsborough County. It’s a starting point for budgeting, not a quote — your lot’s terrain, gate count, material grade, and any HOA requirements can move the real number up or down.
Fence pricing depends on more than material and footage alone — post spacing, board grade, hardware, and site conditions all affect the final number. A range is the honest way to estimate before we’ve actually measured your property.
No. Permit fees, HOA architectural review, removal and haul-away of an existing fence, and site-specific extras like grading or tree-root navigation are not included in this calculator’s range. We account for those separately in a written quote.
Aluminum uses powder-coated metal panels and posts, which cost more to manufacture and install than pressure-treated pine, but it also typically lasts longer and needs far less upkeep — so the higher per-foot number often evens out over the life of the fence.
No, it’s material-neutral — you choose the material. If your HOA restricts you to a specific style, like vinyl or aluminum only, just select that material to see the relevant range for your community.
Linear footage is the total distance the fence line will run — add up every side you plan to enclose, not the square footage of your yard. If you’re not sure, a rough walk-off with a tape measure or your property survey is usually close enough for this estimate.
Only if you’re planning to fence it. Many southern Hillsborough homeowners only enclose the back and side yards, especially where HOA rules restrict front-yard fencing height or style, so leave the front out unless you specifically intend to fence it.
No, the gate add-on in this calculator covers a standard manual walk or drive gate and its hardware. Motorized gate automation is a separate cost — see our gate installation page for what that typically adds.
Yes, if you have an existing fence to tear out and haul away, that’s an additional line item not reflected in this calculator, since removal cost depends heavily on the old fence’s material and condition.
