Big Jerrys Fencing Durham Permitting Requirements
Depending on the fence’s height, location, and zoning category, Durham County may require a zoning permit. The property boundaries must be verified before fence installation to ensure they do not encroach on nearby easements or properties.
Durham County and the City of Durham do not require permits for standard residential fences, except for pool barriers, properties in designated flood plains, or retaining walls over 4 feet.
If the fence is located in the side or rear yard, the maximum allowed height is 8 feet, except for corner lots. Front yard fences cannot be higher than 4 feet. You will need a permit if a fence is used as a pool barrier on parcels of single-family dwellings. Commercial fences/walls under 6 ft. do not require a building permit.
Fences erected without required approvals or permits may be subject to fines, removal, modification, or demolition.
