Big Jerry’s Fencing Lake Lanier Permitting Requirements

Lake Lanier’s Shoreline stretches through five counties, and each has its own permitting requirements. Verify your property’s location before construction to avoid delays or obstacles.

Fence Permit

Lake Lanier is not an incorporated city but a geographic/recreational area spanning primarily Hall and Forsyth counties. Permit requirements depend on the specific county your property falls in: Hall County requires no permit for fences 7 feet or under; Forsyth County requires no permit for fences 6 feet or under. Check with your specific county’s building department based on your property’s location.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Shoreline Management

This applies to every lakefront property, regardless of the county. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages the shoreline as federal public land. Any private facility, structure, or improvement placed on Corps-managed land requires a mandatory Shoreline Use Permit from the Lanier Operations Management Office.

Penalties of No Permit

The consequences of skipping a permit are consistent across all five counties. Stop-work orders, forced removal at the property owner’s expense, complications with home insurance, and difficulties at the time of sale are all expected outcomes.

Violations of shoreline management carry penalties of up to $5,000 or six months’ imprisonment under federal regulations.

I had Big Jerry’s install a 4 foot wooden privacy fence in a yard of a home my wife and I recently purchased. The home had an irrigation system for which I had a few very details on where the plumbing actually was located since I didn’t install it. Edwin and the guys from Jerry’s were very diligent in ensuring the didn’t hit the irrigation system while they were hand digging the post holes. I really appreciated this. The fence looks great. They cleaned up and left my yard clean of debris. Very happy with their work.

The estimator at Big Jerry’s was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and much more helpful than the others I spoke with. Their price was the best too. The crew showed up on time, explained our options for the slope, and even helped coordinate with our neighbors on the shared side. Smooth experience from beginning to end

We have an open field behind us and the gate takes a beating from the wind. Big Jerry’s came and fixed our gate and now we have no issues at all. Professional and friendly to the max! Thanks for everything that you do!

Highly recommend Big Jerry’s for anyone looking to install a fence in their yard. They are professional. Their prices are competitive and reasonable.They respond to questions quickly.. They are very efficient in communicating. The installation crew are punctual and clean up after themselves. We have a sloped yard and they did an amazing job making our fence look smooth and seamless. We liked them so much, that we brought them back to do another smaller decorative privacy fence. The quality of the fences are. Excellent. We used an aluminum (4’ Elon) fence for the perimeter of the yard, and the horizontal wood fence (skyline deluxe ) for the privacy decorative fence.

We recently had a project with Big Jerry’s Fencing that presented a few challenges along the way, but I’m happy to say they went above and beyond to make things right. From start to finish, the team was professional, responsive, and committed to ensuring we were completely satisfied with the outcome.

When an issue arose, they handled it with care and made the necessary adjustments at no additional charge, even offering credits for minor damage to replaceable items on our property. Their dedication to standing by their work and putting the customer first truly set them apart.

Overall, the quality of their service and craftsmanship exceeded our expectations, and we are very happy with the end result. I would highly recommend Big Jerry’s Fencing to anyone looking for a company that values its customers and delivers on its promises.

The entire Big Jerrys team made the entire process very enjoyable. From design to completion they were communicative and always helpful. Front office & sales staff were stellar. The Cannonball & aluminum fence they installed on our property is quality & absolutely gorgeous. Fredy & Ramon are the Picasso of fence installation. My man KB came through with the beautiful pre-stain & even came back to touch up after installation was done. Overall 10/10, look no further for your fencing needs.
We needed a new fence and Big Jerry's were so easy to work with. The submission and quote process was simply and quick. Prices are competitive and we elected to have our wood pre-stained. The final product is beautiful and the quality materials used ensure our fence will stand up to the elements. After installation was complete, they came out to touch up the stain and confirm their high standards were met. The customer service rivals the workmanship for the top seed. They are patient with questions and eager to help us understand the installation process. Thank you KB and team for making this an easy, fun, and exciting experience.

Big Jerry’s is one of the easiest, friendliest, most responsive and professional contractor to work with. They made everything so easy from initial quote through final payment. The workmanship is beautiful and the price was more than fair. Their sales team is very helpful, accommodating, and not pushy. We had a backyard fence installed within 2 days and they team took no shortcuts. My husband and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Our dog especially loves his new space!

Pricing Guidance or Cost Factors

The Lake Lanier area receives approximately 52 to 56 inches of rainfall annually, depending on the county, with humidity typically ranging from 70% to 78% throughout the warmer months. Shoreline properties face additional moisture exposure, increased onshore winds, and, in many cases, steep or rocky terrain that drops toward the lake. All these factors, along with county codes and HOA requirements, add layers of complexity to installation. An estimated 100 linear feet of fencing may cost $1,000 to $6,500 around Lake Lanier.

Big Jerry's Fencing Lake Lanier, GA

Big Jerry’s Fencing serves properties of every size across Lake Lanier. Whether you require fences for a small residential yard, a lakeside estate, a rural parcel, or a large recreational area, we deliver quality on every project.

Fence Installation

A fence that appears strong is the one that holds up. Our crews bring local knowledge, proven craftsmanship, and decade-long expertise to every project across the Lake Lanier area. We build fences that withstand the elements and add visual appeal that fits the character of lakeside living.

Gate Installation

What makes lakeside living more appealing? The natural aesthetics that come with it. Big Jerry’s Fencing ensures your gates never make that jarring squeak that sours the whole experience. We craft gates with commercial-grade hinges, reinforced frames, and properly aligned panels, engineered for smooth operation in high-humidity, moisture-heavy environments.

Fence Repair

Broken fences instantly kill the lakeside property vibes. At Big Jerry’s Fencing, we provide an honest assessment before making any recommendations. Sometimes a targeted repair is all it takes. We fix what needs fixing using proven systems and real craftsmanship, and have your fence back to full function in minimum time.

Aluminum Fence

Aluminum is the most practical material for Lake Lanier properties. These fences resist rust and corrosion in high humidity without complaint. They don’t ask for constant maintenance and work especially well for pool enclosures, decorative perimeters, and any property where security matters without sacrificing the view.

Vinyl Fence

Vinyl is the happy-go-lucky fence. It refuses to give in to the elements. No rot, no warping, no insects, no rust, and it never once asks to be painted, stained, or sealed. The heat and humidity simply bounce off it. For Lake Lanier properties where low maintenance is the priority, vinyl is the honest answer.

SimTek Composite Fence

SimTek is the best weather warrior fence for Lake Lanier properties. Built from a reinforced polymer and steel core, these fences deliver a modern wood- or stone-finish with beastly strength. No rotting, no warping, no insect damage, no paint peeling after a rough summer. They ask for virtually nothing in return.
