Planning Your Fire Pit for a Nocatee Home
- Start with your neighborhood's guidelines. Each Nocatee neighborhood has its own review, so we check yours before we sketch a fire pit.
- Work from the builder lanai. Most Nocatee homes started with a standard lanai or slab, so we plan a fire pit to tie in cleanly and look original to the house.
- Fit the lot. Nocatee lots are efficient, so we keep a fire pit inside the setbacks and think about the neighbors' view, too.
- Plan the whole backyard. Pavers, lighting, fans and shade are designed together in AutoCAD, so everything works as one space.
NAHB lists outdoor kitchens and outdoor fireplaces among the home features that have grown most in popularity over the past ten years.
Fire Pits in Nocatee: What's Different
Fire pits in Nocatee. Nocatee families love a fire pit after the kids' activities wind down. For a homeowner in the Del Webb Nocatee community, we built a fire pit together with a composite-roof screen enclosure and outdoor kitchen.
Permits. Most of Nocatee is in St. Johns County, which issues the building permit, usually after a clearance sheet, and automatically notifies registered architectural review associations. Duval-side neighborhoods such as Brookwood are permitted by the City of Jacksonville. A Notice of Commencement is required for most permitted projects. See our St. Johns County permit guide.
DarkSky International recommends aiming outdoor lights downward with shielding, using timers or motion sensors, and choosing warmer colors where possible.
