Building Permits
If you live within a city limit, you will be required to obtain
both city and a county permit. If you live outside of an incorporated town
or city, then only a county permit will be required. In most cases, this holds
true even if you are replacing an existing fence with the exact same style
fence. Another consideration is, does your community have a home owner’s association
that requires approval for fence construction. If you do, then you will be
required to obtain approval from this organization as well as securing your
building permits. Check with your local building department for further information.
* Please note: Your local city or county government requires that you obtain a building permit prior to the installation of your fence. Affordable Fence does not obtain these permits because of our large coverage area. We install fences throughout Northern Ohio and it would be virtually impossible for us to obtain building permits and civic association approvals for the hundreds of fences we install every year.
Before We Start Construction
It is important that your property markers are found prior to your fence
installation so that your fence is
installed in exactly the right location. We can usually find your property
lines if you have a copy of your plot plan. If no property markers are
available, you will need to have a surveyor relocate the property. This
is not very expensive if you use the same surveyor that is listed on
the plot plan, because they already have all the information that’s needed
to mark your property. Often the surveyor's pins are metal and can be
loacted with a metal detector.
Note that if you have us locate your property markers and we cannot find them we willl have to reschedule your fence installation. For this reason many customers locate their property markers before their fence installation.
