Fences

Erecting a fence on your property DOES NOT require a permit.   

There are several restrictions that you need to be aware of:

• Supporting horizontal and vertical members of a fence shall face the interior of the lot on which the fence is erected.
• Gates must be designed so that they do not swing out over any public sidewalk
  or alley.
• If not exceeding, at any point, 4 feet in height above the elevation of the surface
  of the ground at such point, they may be located in any yard.
• If not exceeding, at any point, 6 feet in height above the elevation of the surface
  of the ground at such point, they may be located in any required rear yard or side yard, provided that on a corner lot, abutting in the rear the side lot line of another lot in an R-District, no such fence shall be closer to the side street lot line than the least depth of the front yard required on such other lot fronting the side street.
