Do I Need a Fence Permit?

It surprises many homeowners that building permits are not confined solely to buildings. Even a fence must, in most cases, be permitted and approved by your local jurisdiction. While permits tend to be required more in urban, metro areas, fence permitting is not universal. Some municipalities require it, others do not. That's why it's best to check with a local Fence Installation professional in Summerfield NC before proceeding with a project.

Fences that are 3.5 feet and 6 feet often need permits. Fence permitting depends on the type of materials, height and location of the fence. For example, materials can make or break a permit. In cities, it is difficult, if not impossible, to obtain permits for barbed wire or electric fences - no matter the height.
