Tinley Park prohibits barbed wire, razor wire, and electric fences in residential districts. Approved materials include wood, vinyl, chain-link, masonry, and ornamental metal. Temporary materials like snow fencing are not allowed for permanent use.
Tinley Park's zoning code restricts residential fence materials to wood, vinyl/PVC, chain-link (typically without slats in front yards), masonry, brick, ornamental iron or aluminum, and similar durable materials. Barbed wire, razor wire, concertina wire, and electric fences are prohibited in residential zones. Temporary materials such as snow fencing, plastic mesh, orange construction fencing, tarps, or pallet fencing are not permitted as permanent enclosures. Chain-link may be restricted in front yards in some districts. Historic district and HOA subdivisions may have additional material restrictions. Contact Tinley Park Community Development at (708) 444-5100.
Fences using prohibited materials must be removed or replaced at owner expense. Fines typically start at $50 and accrue daily until corrected. Temporary fencing left in place long-term may be cited as a property maintenance violation.
