Fences

Once you have decided on the fence height and materials, you have the information you need to begin. 

Building Permit is required IF:

Height is over 7 feet tall

Prepare your property 

Find your property lines. Be sure you know exactly where your property lines are before building a fence. If you are unsure you may need to hire a licensed surveyor to locate your property lines. 

Check your vision clearance areas: vision clearance is required at street, alley, and driveway corners. Fence construction is limited in vision clearance areas.  Please refer to our Fence handout for more information. 

Call before you dig: Call the Oregon Utility Notification Center two (2) full business days before you start construction.  Call: 1-800-332-2344 (or 811) or you may submit a locate online.
