Big Jerry’s Fencing, Chapel Hill Permitting Requirements
Chapel Hill has its own Unified Zoning Ordinance and may have different municipal requirements depending upon its location.
Fences require a residential permit prior to installation. Properties within Historic Districts, Resource Conservation Districts, or the Jordan Buffer require additional review beyond standard fence permits. Big Jerry’s Fencing can help property owners navigate these technicalities, understand them, and apply for permits.
Some parts of the Chapel Hill town limits fall under Orange County regulations with different municipal requirements. A Zoning Compliance Permit (ZCP) is required for fence installations within its boundaries. For properties located in Durham County boundaries, an additional permit on the county level is not needed.

SimTek composite combines durability with a stone or wood-like finish. Chapel Hill fence installations typically range from $2,000 to $6,500 for standard 150-foot residential projects.
