Tips

  • Fences are billed via the same valuation-based fee table as general building permits, using a $28.33-per-linear-foot wood-fencing valuation as the minimum input — confirm the exact valuation for non-wood fencing materials directly with the Building Division, since only wood fencing has a separately published per-unit rate.
