B-06 2020-Current: Chain Link Fence Permit Requirements
Chain link and wire deer fences are classified as U occupancies. Because a chain link
fence is not an occupied structure and is lightweight and has low wind resistance, the
hazards associated with such construction is very low. Consequently, in many cases
standard details provided by a fencing company can be approved without additional
engineering.
Chain link and wire fences between 10 and 12 feet in height, which are submitted on the
chain link company’s drawings, do not require engineering and may be issued at the
Building Cubicle, provided:
No screening (slats, cloth material, etc.) is placed on the chain link surface, and
drawings are so noted.
Drawings must show foundation information, structural steel post information and
spacing of pipe supports for chain link material.
Building cube staff is to briefly review plans for reasonableness and
completeness.
Note that Planning approval is always required for these fences prior to issuance.
