Big Jerry’s Fencing Permitting Requirements

The City of Atlanta has a clear and well-documented fence permit process. East Atlanta properties fall under city jurisdiction, and a permit is required before any new fence or replacement fence can be installed. Understanding the rules before you start keeps your project on track.

Fence Permit

A building permit is required for all new fence installations and replacements in the City of Atlanta. Applications are submitted to the Department of City Planning, Office of Buildings, Express Permits Division. Applications can also be submitted electronically through the standard residential or commercial submission workflow. For more information, contact the Express Permits Division for guidance before starting work.

Height Limits

In front yards, fences may not exceed four feet in height and must be at least 50% open in design, meaning chain-link, wrought-iron, or picket-style fencing are the permitted front-yard options. In back and side yards, the maximum fence height is six feet. Fences exceeding these heights require a Variance submitted through the Office of Zoning and Development.

Historic Districts and Special Public Interest Districts

East Atlanta includes several historic districts, including Druid Hills, Morningside, and Virginia Highland, as well as Special Public Interest Districts where additional design review applies. Properties within these areas must obtain a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Urban Design Commission before a fence permit will be issued. If your property is located within a historic or SPI district, confirm the requirements with the Office of Design before submitting a permit application.

Penalties of Violation

Installing a fence without the required permit or in violation of the city’s height, material, or design standards can result in stop-work orders, fines, and mandatory removal at the property owner’s expense.

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

Atlanta receives approximately 50 inches of annual rainfall, and summer humidity regularly exceeds 70%. Vinyl handles these conditions without requiring any maintenance. Aluminum suits the decorative residential profiles common throughout East Atlanta. Wood remains a sought-after material in the area’s established neighborhoods for its natural warmth and privacy, though it requires regular maintenance in Atlanta’s humid climate to perform well over time. Chain link is a practical choice for rear enclosures and properties where function takes clear priority over aesthetics. A typical 100 linear feet of fence costs between $2,000 and $7,000, depending on material selection, site preparation, and installation complexity.

Big Jerry's Fencing East Atlanta, GA

Big Jerry’s Fencing tailors your fence around permitted materials and your property’s specific needs, so you get a result that satisfies both the city’s standards and your own. Our franchise-backed systems and vetted crews bring consistent quality to every project in East Atlanta, from a decorative aluminum border around a Buckhead estate to a privacy fence behind a Virginia Highland craftsman bungalow. 

Fence Installation

We know that all properties come with their own set of installation challenges and require an experienced crew that assesses the site before committing to a plan. Our decade-long experience sets us apart. We design every fence around your property’s specific conditions so it stands up to the elements and holds its quality over the years. 

Gate Installation

Your property’s gate stands as the first impression of your aesthetic taste. We build gates that open cleanly, close securely, and hold their alignment through years of daily use without binding or sagging. 

Pool Fence Installation

Every property deserves a pool fence that complements its character without compromising on safety. We design pool enclosures with safety compliance as our top priority, using rust-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials that hold their appearance long after installation. 

Simtek Composite Fence

Visually pleasing with the force of solid steel and polymer, SimTek offers a natural wood or stone grain finish. It is a reliable set-it-and-forget-it option that requires no constant upkeep. Just an occasional rinse brings it back to its original finish. 

Aluminum Fence

Lightweight and beautiful, aluminum stands as a reliable choice for homes in East Atlanta. Its powder-coated finish resists rust and corrosion through Atlanta’s humid seasons, and it never needs repainting or sealing to maintain its polished appearance year after year. 

Wood Fence

Wood is an option that never goes out of style. Its traditional warmth offers a welcoming feel that naturally suits East Atlanta’s established neighborhoods and historic properties. Pressure-treated lumber handles Georgia’s humidity well, and with regular maintenance, it holds its structure and character for years.
