Does the construction of a fence require a permit?

Yes, the City does require a fence permit before any fence installation can begin. This fence permit allows city staff and property owners the chance to make sure that any new fence is compliant with the City's fence ordinance in regards to height, location, and material. For more information, contact Public Works Administration at (616) 940-4817.
