Other rules to know
- The City's Permits & Licenses page does not mention fences. It says the Building Permit Application is 'an application only, and is not authorization to start construction'; the Building Inspector reviews it.
- The City zoning code (Title 12, incl. 12-2 General Provisions and 12-7 Zoning Permits) is posted on the Ordinances page but could not be opened, so fence rules are not listed here.
Before you dig
Call Diggers Hotline at 811 (or file online at diggershotline.com) at least 3 business days before digging post holes. Find your lot corner markers and keep the fence on your side of the line. County parcel maps can be off by several feet; if you're not sure where the line is, a licensed land surveyor can stake it.
