Fencing Questions:

Do I need a permit for my fence?

Most boroughs and townships require a permit for a fence. Each municipality has their own set of rules and regulations for fences, and process of submitting permits. You can often find this information on the township website. It’s usually under the zoning permit header. 

We do offer the convenience of obtaining the permit for you at an additional fee.
