Does the city need to know? Re: fence

Sorry if it's a silly question, I just didn't want to get started, and find out too late... but If we want to move our fence up (make back yard bigger) do I need to let the city know? 

If so, what dept?

We dont have an HOA-- so no worries there...  and it's not like we're renovating/building a ROOM, so we wouldn't need a permit, right?

It's just a simple fence expansion.... easy peasy, right?

Re: Does the city need to know? Re: fence

  • I would just to be on the safe side - you may need a building permit.  We kind of had a run in with that last year  Embarrassed  hey, I am from the country and no one out there needs building permits!!

    Call city hall they will know where to send you

  • Building Inspections or Planning should be able to help you.
  • in theory you will need a permit - depends on your city.  There could also be a gas line or buried electricity so you need to do the "call before you dig" number.
  • I know you need a permit in FM.

  • You have to have a fence permit in Lewisville. Not sure if you received The Lewisville Horizon in the mail yesterday or not, but there is a short column on fence requirements in there. The phone # list at the end of the article is 972-219-3470.
  • Dig Tess is who you need to call before you do any fence replacement or anything.  They will come out for free and mark all your lines. 

     

    Not sure about anything else.
