Big Jerry’s Fencing Wilmington Permitting Requirements
Wilmington is a port town located in New Hanover County. It has its own Unified Development Ordinance and also follows the county’s laws and regulations. So property owners must confirm that they are compliant with both prior to fence installation.
While a permit is not required, property owners will need to have a survey conducted by the planning department to ensure their fences comply with the UDO.
The allowed height for residential fences is limited to 4 feet in front yards and up to 8 feet i side/rear yards. Properties located in Historic Districts have additional restrictions and may need a Certificate of Appropriateness.
Installing a fence without proper permits can result in fines, stop-work orders, or mandatory removal.

Wilmington’s coastal climate, with an average 75% annual humidity, tests fence material to the core. The hurricane season lasts from June to November, creating additional challenges for fences. Engineered fences built for the coastal environment perform here. Vinyl, SimTek Composite, and aluminum are excellent resistors of rust, rot, and high winds and require minimal maintenance. Pressure-treated and sealed wood fences offer traditional appeal but demand committed maintenance every 2 to 3 years. A standard 150-foot privacy fence generally costs $3,750-$9,000, with hurricane-resistant materials.
