Big Jerry’s Fencing, Winston-Salem Permitting Requirements
Winston-Salem is the county seat of Forsyth County. It has its own Unified Development Ordinance and also follows the county rules and regulations. As such, property owners will need to follow two sets of rules for fence installations.
Building permits are required for fences over 6 feet in any dimension. The same is also the case for Forsyth County rules and regulations. So owners will have to apply for two sets of permits for their fences. Big Jerry’s Fencing can help owners with that and apply for permits.
Fence placement is regulated under the Unified Development Ordinance, including yard location rules, corner-lot visibility standards, and easement restrictions. Please remove the claim about no setbacks and instead state that fence placement must comply with zoning standards and should not encroach on easements or sight-distance areas.
Installing a fence without a required permit can lead to a stop-work order, fines, and penalties as defined under the City’s Code of Ordinances. In some cases, legal action can also be taken against the property owners.

Winston-Salem’s climate test fence material to its limit. Humidity levels stay between 60% and 75% throughout the year, with about 48 inches of annual rainfall. Only engineered fences last here. Vinyl, aluminum, and SimTek fences perform significantly better as they don’t rot, warp, or require constant upkeep. For a 100 linear foot fence installation, expect a budget of around $1,300 to $7,500, depending on fence material and installation complexity.
