What to submit
Other rules to know
- The Village has a Zoning Application and a Building Permit Application (2024) on its Building Applications page; the building permit form lists new buildings, additions, repairs, remodeling and demolition but not fences.
- Village zoning is Chapter 157 of the Code of Ordinances (American Legal); the C-2 district section requires screening fences for some commercial uses, but the residential fence rules could not be read online. The Sec. 157.010 definitions list 'walls and fences under four feet in height' as minor structures and define a structure as anything constructed or erected that requires a permanent location on the ground.
- Building permit applications are void after 60 days.
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.
