Default How deep to bury posts for fence?

I am going to try to put up some wood fences 6' tall located in south
Florida.

I talked to one contractor and they told me they will need to dig the post
24" deep and pour concrete. Some told me 48" deep. Some said 24" deep at
intermediate posts but 48" deep at corners or gate posts. Any idea what is
a good depth?


Thanks in advance,

Here's a novel idea, contact your local building department. Or, you can
hope someone from around the globe has the correct answer for you.
