Other rules to know

  • §13-1-142. General fee schedule effective April 1, 2025 does not identify a fence category, so no generic minimum fee is assigned to fences.
  • General permit form gives 24-month validity and 24-hour inspection notice, but fence applicability remains unverified.
  • No fence-specific filing sequence was verified; steps is empty rather than a guessed process.

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.
