Orland Park requires fences to be permitted, installed inside the property line with finished side out, maintained in good condition, and constructed of approved materials. Barbed wire and electric fences are prohibited in residential areas.
Orland Park fence regulations require all residential fences to be: permitted by the Building Division; installed inside the property line; oriented with the finished/decorative side facing neighbors and streets; constructed of wood, vinyl, ornamental metal, chain-link, or masonry (approved materials); maintained in good repair without leaning, broken sections, or peeling paint. Barbed wire, razor wire, and electric fences are prohibited in residential districts (limited exceptions for legitimate agricultural uses or commercial security with special approval). Maximum heights vary by yard location (see height-limits). Pool barriers have separate, stricter rules. Property maintenance code requires owners to maintain fences; deteriorated fences are violations. Contact Orland Park Building Division at (708) 403-6200.
Improperly oriented fences, prohibited materials, and poorly maintained fences can result in code violations with fines of $50 to $500. Owners may be ordered to repair, reorient, or remove non-compliant fences.
