Residential Fencing Restrictions

After you have decided to build a fence, there are a number of legal issues to address.

Contact your city government or residential board and find out if there are any restrictions on fence construction in the area of your property. Regulations vary in every neighborhood and your community may have restrictions on the height and type of fence you can build.

Before you build, it is important to know the exact location of your property line. Many people hire a professional surveyor to confirm the location of a lot line before digging begins. If you build a fence even slightly over your property line, you might be required to tear it down.
