11. Fences

Permits are not required for fences that are under six feet in height. Taller fences require a building permit, but can be placed up to the property line. Fences may not hinder lines of sight, and the fence may not be constructed as to completely block visibility. If there is a finished side of the fence, it should be facing the neighbor's property. Fences that are over eight feet tall must meet the pertinent Zoning setbacks. For more detail, please refer to the Zoning regulations section 242-308I.
