Do I need a permit for a fence?
If the fence is four 4 feet in height or less a permit is not required.

A site plan or legal survey with the location of the proposed fence shall be submitted to the building inspection division for approval for all fences over 4 feet in height. An application for a building permit is required for all fences exceeding 6 feet in height.

How high can my fence be?
Residential Fence Heights: In residential districts 4 foot  fences may be located on any lot line except that fences on interior lots may be 6 feet in height on the side and rear lot lines beginning at the nearest front corner of the principal building.

Corner Lots: Fences up to 6 feet in height may be constructed on the side and rear lot lines behind the nearest front corner of the principal building subject to the following:
1. The front corner of the principal building is defined as beginning at the widest point of the structure's front street facing foundation as determined by its street address.

3. When a fence is adjacent to a driveway of a neighboring lot, a 5 foot triangle of visibility or a 5 foot  setback along the street side shall be provided at the intersecting lot lines.

Varying Setbacks: Should the fence be located between principal buildings with varying setbacks on adjacent lots, a fence up to 6 feet in height may not extend beyond the average setback of the two buildings.

Commercial and Industrial Districts: Fences located within commercial and industrial districts may be located on any lot line up to a height of 8 feet except in the required front yard.
How do I find my lot line?

What materials can I use?
