My neighbor's have a fence around their front yard do I need a permit for a fence out front?
Yes. All fencing in the front yard requires a zoning permit. All fences must be placed off the road right-of-way. If you have questions concerning the right-of-way location, you will get this information when you get your permit. Fences in the front yard cannot be over 48 inches tall. The fence must have 75% open space. Typical fences that are allowed are chain link, picket, split rail and wrought iron. To compute the required openings between pickets, take the width of a single picket times three. This is the required open space between each picket.
