There is a possibility you may not need a fence permit, but in most cases a permit is required.
Keep reading for more information on Frederick County fencing permits and what you should know about them.
Fencing permit basics
The state or local government will specify in local code, zoning regulations, or other fencing regulations on whether or not a fencing permit is required for your project. These permits may also prohibit or regulate certain fence materials and heights. A homeowner in one area may not be able to install chain link fence, while a homeowner in the same town but a different area may be able to. It’s best to check with the local laws first.
How to apply
In some cases, you can file for your fencing permit online. However, if there are additional requirements, such as a CAD drawing, filing may take a little more time. Remember: if you hire a company to do your CAD drawing for your fence permit, the company should file the permit for you.
