Designing an outdoor fireplace for Duval County

Most of Duval County is the consolidated City of Jacksonville, while Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Baldwin issue their own permits. We've completed projects across Duval County, including Riverside, Mandarin, Jacksonville Beach, Tamaya and Amelia View. A steady sea breeze decides where a fire feature can sit, so we place it in the lee of the house or a wall.

Linear gas fireplaces suit modern homes, while stone fireplaces suit traditional ones. We show you both in AutoCAD. Before we draw an outdoor fireplace in Duval County, we check where the chimney or firebox can sit, gas or wood-burning and where the seating faces.

NFPA advises never adding lighter fluid or any other flammable liquid to a fire that's already burning.

Approvals and Permits in Duval County

Planned communities across Duval County run their own architectural review, while historic districts like Riverside-Avondale add the City's own historic review. Boards often ask about a fireplace's height, its materials and how far the chimney or firebox sits from the property lines. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Baldwin issue their own permits; everywhere else in Duval County goes through the City of Jacksonville. Every permitted structure gets its necessary engineered documents.

Our Design-Build Process

Design session with Amany. Your project starts at our Jacksonville design studio, where you sit down with founder Amany Youssef and watch your outdoor fireplace take shape live on screen in AutoCAD.
Free AutoCAD design and a custom quote. You get to-scale 3D renderings and a fully itemized custom quote within 24 hours of your consultation, so you know exactly what you're getting.
In-home design visit. Amany comes to your home for an in-person walkthrough, so we look at the project together where you're most comfortable, finalize the details and choose your colors and finishes.
Engineering, HOA and permits handled. We get the necessary engineered documents for every permitted structure, prepare your HOA/ARB package and pull the City of Jacksonville or beach city permits.
Build. We can start most projects within two to four weeks. Our crews follow a build process we've refined over many projects, and you get daily updates.
The AY Advantage. You hold back the final 5% for seven days after completion, so we can take care of any touch-ups before you sign off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum budget for an outdoor fireplace in Duval County?Yes. Every AY Luxury Designs project has a $10,000 minimum. Beyond that, the cost depends on the size and style; finish; gas or wood; mantel, hearth and TV; and permits, and your fully itemized custom quote comes within 24 hours of your consultation.

Gas or wood-burning fireplace?Gas is easy and clean; wood gives the real crackle. We build both and help you choose for your yard and your HOA.

Can you put a TV above an outdoor fireplace?Yes. We plan the power and mounting for a TV above the fireplace during design.

Are there fire pit rules in Duval County?Yes. Outdoor fires follow local fire rules. See our Duval County fire pit rules page.

Does my Duval County home need HOA approval for an outdoor fireplace?It depends on your street. Duval County's gated communities and historic districts each add a review step before the permit. If yours has one, we prepare that package along with the permit. Confirm current guidelines with your association.
