Fences and Hedges

Fences require permits prior to installation.

All walls, fences and hedges may be placed on the property lines, except for most chain link fences in residential areas that must be placed behind the front building line.

Height for fences cannot exceed six feet in most cases. Hedges must not exceed seven feet in height – eight feet for agricultural properties

To report any potential problems, call 311 or report a property by emailing [email protected].
